Access DRA Device Metadata — Access device metadata with a ResourceClaim

When you use a directly referenced ResourceClaim to allocate devices, the device metadata files appear inside the container at Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text /var/run/kubernetes.io/dra-device-attributes/resourceclaims/<claimName>/<requestName>/<driverName

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). When you use a directly referenced ResourceClaim to allocate devices, the device metadata files appear inside the container at Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text /var/run/kubernetes.io/dra-device-attributes/resourceclaims/<claimName>/<requestName>/<driverName>-metadata.json ``` Review the following example manifest This manifest creates a ResourceClaim named gpu-claim that requests a device from the gpu.example.com DeviceClass, and a Pod that reads the device metadata. Create the ResourceClaim and Pod Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/dra/dra-device-metadata-pod.yaml ``` After the Pod is running, view the container logs to see the metadata Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl logs gpu-metadata-reader ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text === DRA device metadata === /var/run/kubernetes.io/dra-device-attributes/resourceclaims/gpu-claim/gpu/gpu.example.com-metadata.json { "kind": "DeviceMetadata", "apiVersion": "metadata.resource.k8s.io/v1alpha1", ... } ``` To inspect the full metadata file, exec into the container Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl exec gpu-metadata-reader -- \ cat /var/run/kubernetes.io/dra-device-attributes/resourceclaims/gpu-claim/gpu/gpu.example.com-metadata.json ``` The output is a JSON object containing device attributes like the model, driver version, and device UUID.
