An apparatus comprises a processing platform implementing a plurality of resources of converged infrastructure of an information processing system. A controller associated with the plurality of resources comprises a resource discovery module and a hierarchical mapper. The resource discovery module is configured to identify and categorize the resources of the converged infrastructure. The hierarchical mapper is configured to map at least first and second applications of the processing platform to respective sets of services utilized by those applications and to map each of the services to respective sets of resources utilized by those services so as to provide a hierarchical mapping of applications, services and resources for the converged infrastructure. One or more resulting hierarchical mappings generated by the hierarchical mapper are stored in a database and utilized by the controller to implement orchestration functionality for one or more additional applications of the processing platform.
