Use a to let Kubernetes generate and manage per-Pod ResourceClaims. Create a ResourceClaimTemplate if you want every Pod to have access to separate devices that have similar configurations. For example, you might want simultaneous access to devices for Pods in a Job that uses parallel execution.\n\nIf you directly reference a specific ResourceClaim in a Pod, that ResourceClaim must already exist in the cluster. If a referenced ResourceClaim doesn't exist, the Pod remains in a pending state until the ResourceClaim is created. You can reference an auto-generated ResourceClaim in a Pod, but this isn't recommended because auto-generated ResourceClaims are bound to the lifetime of the Pod that triggered the generation.\n\nTo create a workload that claims resources, select one of the following options\n\nReview the following example manifest\n\nThis manifest creates a ResourceClaimTemplate that requests devices in the example-device-class DeviceClass that match both of the following parameters\n\nDevices that have a driver.example.com/type attribute with a value of gpu.
