Patent attributes
An indication that a virtual machine is starting is received. Requested data blocks associated with the virtual machine are identified. Based on identifiers of the requested data blocks, a trained learning model is used to predict one or more subsequent data blocks likely to be requested while the virtual machine is starting. The one or more subsequent data blocks are caused to be preloaded in a cache storage. It is determined that the one or more predicted subsequent data blocks are incorrect. It is determined that an end of a boot sequence associated with the virtual machine has been reached. In response to a determination that the end of the boot sequence associated with the virtual machine has been reached, the boot sequence associated with the virtual machine is used to update the trained learning model.
