I am trying to make something similar to this?
Obviously it's possible to make it manually piece by piece, but I am looking for some kind of automated feature in Illustrator to achieve this?
Is this possible?
Thanks man in advance!

Colliderscribe is a great option. Another method of doing it is through the "transform each" feature.
- Make several copies of the object you want to create a background of. Select them all.
- Select Object>Transform>Transform Each
- Type a number of pixels to move the objects horizontally and vertically
- Type a percentage to scale the objects
- Tick the "random" option
The results will not be as good as Colliderscribe, but it works.

There is a plugin called ColliderScribe of Astute Graphics which is the direct answer of your question. Its a paid plugin but you can download its trial version which is for 14-15 days and use it. you can use the Space Fill Feature to achieve your goal.
You can google for its functionality and tutorial. There are lots of tutorial on this.

I believe the tool that would suit you best for this effect is a scatter brush. You can learn more about the scatter brush here: http://abduzeedo.com/illustrator-quick-tips-2-scatter-brushes

In Illustrator you can try this way:
- Create small white circle
- Make this circle a symbol (just drag it to symbol panel)
- Spray this symbol everywhere you need with symbol sprayer tool
- Change sizes of some of this symbols (circles) with symbol sizer tool
- Change colors of some symbols with symbol stainer tool
