A technique for multi-layer quality of service (QoS) management in a distributed computing environment includes receiving a workload to run in a distributed computing environment. A workload quality of service (QoS) class for the workload is identified, and the workload QoS class is translated to a storage level QoS class. The workload is scheduled to run on a compute node of the environment, and the storage level QoS class is communicated to a workload execution manager of the compute node. The storage level QoS class is communicated to one or more storage managers of the environment where the storage managers manage storage resources in the environment. The storage managers extend the storage level QoS class to the storage resources to support the workload QoS class.
