Disclosed are embodiments for balancing utilization of infrastructure in a networked computing environment. One example embodiment includes: mapping, for each of a plurality of workloads operating on source devices in a networked computing environment, a corresponding target device within said networked computing environment; accessing topological information defining the networked computing environment; and reducing unbalanced utilization of infrastructure in the networked computing environment including migrating a workload to an alternate device within the networked computing environment, in dependence upon the mapping and topological information.
