1. A method of forming a pattern system environment, said method comprising:
- automatically forming, by a processor, a pattern system environment for a customer of a computing environment, the pattern system environment being a representation of behavior and use of resources during a business cycle of the customer and including how the resources are used during the business cycle of the customer, the forming of the pattern system environment comprising;
selecting one or more criteria to be used in grouping of observations that form the pattern system environment, wherein the one or more criteria include at least one of;
a set of recovery time objective properties;
selection of an observation for the pattern system environment based on minimizing differences in a collection of resources that form the observation;
or resource utilization metrics associated with a resource;
selecting one or more observation logs to be processed;
choosing from the one or more observation logs a set of observation log records, the choosing being based on at least one of the one or more criteria or results from cluster analysis;
determining a set of metrics to be used in forming the pattern system environment; and
using the set of observation log records and the set of metrics to form the pattern system environment, the pattern system environment to include one or more observation log records of the set of observation log records.

Abstract
A Pattern System Environment is formed. The Pattern System Environment is a representation of information technology (IT) resources of a customer'"'"'s business environment. The Pattern System Environment is based on information associated with the IT resources of the customer, and that information indicates how the IT resources are utilized during a business cycle of the customer. Pattern System Environments are usable in many environments, including those that support business resiliency.
