This disclosure describes techniques implemented partly by a service provider network for containerizing applications. In an example, the techniques may include requesting process relationship information for one or more potential processes of an application, receiving the requested process relationship information for the one or more potential processes of the application, and based on the received process relationship information, configuring a process relationship detection algorithm. Then, using the configured process relationship detection algorithm, the techniques may determine a respective relationship score for individual process pairs of processes operating on a system executing the application and determine one or more individual process pairs that have a respective relationship score that is equal to or above a threshold to be one or more cooperating process pairs.
