Claim 20:
21. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, comprising:
generating, by the at least one processor, an initial portion of the UI that provides:
a first initial prompt to provide at least one of the selected level of hosting service or a cloud provider that provides the selected level of hosting service; and
a second initial prompt to provide at least one of the selected resource allocation routine or a software provider that provides the selected resource allocation routine;

based on input received from the input device in response to the first initial prompt and the second initial prompt, retrieving, from among multiple stored cluster models, a cluster model associated with another computing cluster employing an identical combination of level of hosting service and resource allocation routine, wherein:
the retrieved cluster model is generated based on levels of resources and levels of performance observed during operation of the other computing cluster; and
the retrieved cluster model includes at least one correlation between a level of resources and a level of performance of the other computing cluster;

using, by the at least one processor, the retrieved cluster model to generate at least one prediction of either a level of resources or a level of performance of the computing cluster; and
using, by the at least one processor, the at least one prediction in the check of the plurality of configuration settings.
