Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
at least one server configured to store a block storage volume, the block storage volume acting as a virtual storage drive for a virtual machine instance and hosting a workload for the virtual machine instance, the block storage volume associated with a first performance consistency and a first durability; and
a computing system in communication with the at least one server over a network, wherein the computing system is configured to:
obtain a set of workload parameters for the block storage volume, the set of workload parameters identifying the workload hosted by the block storage volume for the virtual machine instance;
obtain a plurality of workload classifications, wherein each of the plurality of workload classifications correlate a particular set of workload parameters, a particular performance consistency, and a particular durability;
based at least in part on the set of workload parameters, determine the block storage volume corresponds to a first workload classification of the plurality of workload classifications, wherein the first workload classification correlates the set of workload parameters and a second performance consistency and a second durability;
compare the first performance consistency with the second performance consistency and the first durability with the second durability;
identify a misconfiguration, the misconfiguration based on one or more of:
the second performance consistency exceeding the first performance consistency, or
the second durability exceeding the first durability;

based at least in part on identifying the misconfiguration, generate a recommendation to modify the block storage volume to match the second durability and the second performance consistency; and

transmit the recommendation to a user.
