Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to determine a workload level of each storage resource in a set of two or more storage resources, the workload levels being based at least in part on a processor performance metric, a memory performance metric, and a load performance metric. The processing device is also configured to identify a performance imbalance rate for the set of two or more storage resources, and to perform workload balancing for the set of two or more storage resources responsive to (i) the performance imbalance rate for the set of two or more storage resources exceeding a designated imbalance rate threshold and (ii) at least one storage resource in the set of two or more storage resources having a workload level exceeding a designated threshold workload level.
