Claim:
1. A method for managing isolation requirements of a multi-node workload application, the method comprising: determining, by one or more computer processors, one or more first isolation levels for each of a plurality of workload nodes; receiving, by one or more computer processors, performance data for the plurality of workload nodes; analyzing, by one or more computer processors, the performance data for statistical trends in the performance data; identifying, by one or more computer processors, an adverse trend in the statistical trends of the performance data, wherein the performance data represents a plurality of performance metrics and the adverse trend is in a first performance metric of the plurality of performance metrics that describes a first performance characteristic of the plurality of workload nodes; analyzing, by one or more computer processors, a second performance metric of the plurality of performance metrics, wherein the second performance metric describes a second performance characteristic of the plurality of workload nodes; determining, by one or more computer processors, that the second performance metric began to deteriorate contemporaneously with the adverse trend in the first performance metric, and in response, determining, by one or more computer processors, that the deterioration of the second performance metric is a root cause of the adverse trend in the performance data; and identifying, by one or more computer processors, one or more second isolation levels required to meet performance targets, the second isolation levels including an adjustment to the first isolation levels for the plurality of workload nodes.
