Correlating computing network events

A method, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of events at an event manager residing on a host computing system;
• identifying a first resource associated with a first event;
• identifying a second resource associated with a second event;
• determining whether the first resource is associated with a first deployment pattern, the first deployment defined by a first template of resources provisioned for a first computing service;
• determining whether the second resource is associated with a second deployment pattern, the second deployment pattern defined by a second template of resources provisioned for a second computing service;
• and
• responsive to determining that the first and second resources are each associated with the respective first and second deployment patterns, correlating the first and second events responsive to the first and second resources being associated with a common deployment pattern.
