Claim 0:
1. A method for managing upgrades of components of clients, comprising:
obtaining an upgrade failure prediction request associated with an upgrade of an upgrade type of upgrade types, wherein the upgrade types comprise:
a software upgrade of a client software component of a client of clients, and
a hardware upgrade of a client hardware component of the client;

in response to obtaining an update failure prediction request:
obtaining live data associated with the client;
matching the live data with a training data cluster;
selecting relevant features associated with processed training data of the training data cluster using a feature selection algorithm and the training data cluster, wherein:
the processed training data comprises a plurality of features comprising client configuration information features, client upgrade history information features, and upgrade failure history information features;
the feature selection algorithm selects and specifies the relevant features associated with the training data cluster based on Z-scores associated with the plurality of features; and
the relevant features comprise a portion of the client configuration information features, a portion of the client upgrade history information features, and a portion of the upgrade failure history information features in the processed training data that are highly relevant to upgrade failure predictions;

generating an upgrade failure prediction using the live data associated with the relevant features and a prediction model;
making a determination that the upgrade failure prediction implicates an action is required; and
based on the determination:
initiating performance of the action.
