Automated server deployment platform

Described herein is a system in which a number of servers in a server pool may be decommissioned without affecting the availability of capabilities provided by that pool of servers. In some embodiments, each server may be assessed with respect to its characteristics and the applications running on that server. In some embodiments, the server may be added to a list of servers to be decommissioned. In some embodiments, each server in the list of candidate servers may be assigned a deactivation score and ordered based on those deactivation scores. An automated decommissioning system may be implemented to decommission servers on a list of servers to be decommissioned and/or based on a deactivation score associated with that server.
