Systems and methods for automated technology resource decommissioning

A method for automated hardware resource decommissioning, comprising:

• in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor, a computer application executed by the at least one computer processor:
• retrieving usage information for each of a plurality of hardware resources;
• identifying one of the plurality of hardware resources for decommissioning based on the usage information;
• determining one or more additional hardware resource associated with the identified hardware resource and a unique identifier that associates the identified hardware resource with the one or more additional hardware resource;
• creating a decommissioning record for the identified hardware resource, the decommissioning record identifying a plurality of micro services for executing a decommissioning plan, wherein the decommissioning record includes the unique identifier for the identified hardware resource;
• executing the decommissioning plan to decommission the identified hardware resource, wherein the decommissioning plan is associated with the unique identifier, the identified hardware resource, and the one or more additional hardware resource;
• and
• removing or reusing the decommissioned identified hardware resource.
