As a part of larger hyper-converged infrastructure (based on S2D) configuration automation using PowerShell DSC, I have written quite a few new DSC resource modules. FailoverClusterDSC was one of the modules in that list. I added NetQoSDSC as well to ensure I have the automated means to configure the QoS policies in Windows Server 2016.
This module contains five resources at the moment.
Enable/Disable Network Adapter QoS
The NetAdapterQoS resource can be used to enable/disable QoS a specific network adapter.

NetAdapterName = 'Storage1'
Ensure = 'Present'
}

Enable/Disable DCBX Willing mode
DCBX willing mode can be enabled or disabled using the NetQoSDCBXSetting resource. This can be done at an interface level or at the global level in the operating system.

Enable/Disable Network QoS flow control priorities
The NetQosFlowControl resource can be used to enable or disable 802.1P flow control priorities.

This module, while code complete, needs some more work to declare as fully HQRM-compliant. I am working towards that by adding tests and better examples. Feel free to submit your issues, feedback, or PRs.
