An apparatus for discovering computing services architecture and developing patterns of computing services and method therefor are disclosed. The apparatus, according to an embodiment of the invention, provides a graphical user interface for displaying a deployment plan of deployed computing services. Components in the deployment plan are interconnected by links indicating dependency relationships between the components. Each component and link is assigned a confidence value, which is based on a calculated weight of the properties of each component. The apparatus further provides editing tools for manipulating the components in the deployment plan as well as for creating and managing patterns.
