Techniques disclosed herein provide an approach for identifying application dependencies in a hybrid environment in which one or more applications run in operating system (OS)-less containers. One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method that includes monitoring network traffic at one or more host computer systems, wherein OS-less containers run in at least one of the host computer systems. The method further includes monitoring network traffic at virtual bridges to which the OS-less containers are attached, and identifying network dependencies based on the monitored network traffic at the host computer systems and the monitored network traffic at the virtual bridges. In addition, the method includes determining the application dependencies based on the identified network dependencies.
