US Patent 11513982 Techniques for recommending configuration changes using a decision tree

Recommending configuration changes may include: receiving a decision tree comprising levels of nodes, wherein the decision tree includes leaf nodes each representing a different one of a plurality of hardware configurations, wherein a first leaf represents a first hardware configuration and the first leaf node is associated with a set of I/O workload features denoting a I/O workload of a first system having the first hardware configuration, wherein the set of I/O workload features is associated with an action from the first leaf node to a second leaf node, wherein the second leaf node represents a second hardware configuration and the action represents a hardware configuration change made to transition from the first to the second hardware configuration; and performing processing that determines, using the decision tree, a recommendation for a hardware configuration change for a second system having the first hardware configuration represented by the first leaf node.
