Vmware's tagging support is a lighter, more realistic option vs a "CMDB".

Come up with a key/value strategy that covers your need to track things like app name, app category, environment (test, dev, load testing, prod, prod/dmz, etc), and it becomes actually usable and up to date versus an always out-of-date CMDB. And it's compatible with cloud resource tagging.

Sometimes, less is more.
