Abstract
Systems, computer readable mediums, and techniques are described for converting virtual machine input/output (I/O) requests. One of the techniques includes obtaining access request data for one or more virtual machines (VMs) executing on a physical machine, wherein the access request data characterizes data access requests received from the one or more VMs; classifying, using the access request data, each of the one or more VMs as having either a sequential data access pattern or a random data access pattern;receiving a first I/O request packet from a first VM of the one or more VMs; determining that the first VM has been classified as having a random data access pattern; andsplitting the first I/O request packet into a plurality of second I/O request packets based at least in part on determining that the first VM has been classified as having a random data access pattern.
