Predictive model for application update decisions

Abstract

A system and method of providing one or more predictive models to enhance decision-making capabilities regarding software updates in computing network systems. The method includes receiving a request for information indicating whether to upgrade an application executing on a node. The method includes providing a historical impact profile of the node to a predictive model trained to predict possible impacts on computing resources caused by version upgrades to applications using the computing resources. The method includes predicting, based on the predictive model, a possible impact to a computing resource of the node caused by a theoretical upgrade of the application. The method includes generating a risk score indicating whether to upgrade the application executing on the node of the computing network system based on status data of the computing resource of the node and the possible impact to the computing resource of the node.
