1. A method for optimizing deployment of services within a cloud environment comprising local compute resources, the method comprising:
analyzing the cloud environment by:
identifying a currently active subset of local compute resources within the cloud environment, each of the currently active subset of local compute resources having a service deployed thereon;
collecting operational data related to the currently active subset of local compute resources and one or more other local compute resources within the cloud environment;
determining a performance metric for each local compute resource based on the operational data; and
identifying a target subset of local compute resources based on the performance metric, wherein the performance metric associated with each of the target subset of local compute resources satisfies a predetermined criterion; and
adjusting deployment of the service such that the service is deployed on each of the target subset of local compute resources.
