Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for implementing in an electronic device that includes a processor and memory. Virtual resources, which are associated with an execution of a user's applications in a cloud resource configuration including virtual machines, network services and storage, are identified. A first topology map of the virtual resources, including a plurality of nodes, is generated. The first topology map, including the nodes, is output. A vector, which is associated with each node, said vector including one or more features associated with each node, is generated. Based upon the vectors, a distribution of the plurality of nodes within two or more groups is determined A second topology map, including each of the node groups in one of a collapsed format, wherein only a identifier of the node group is output or an expanded format, wherein a portion of the plurality of nodes the node group are output, is output.
