Get a list of the Pods of the DRA driver DaemonSet across all worker nodes

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
    kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=dra-example-driver -n dra-tutorial
```

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
    NAME                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    dra-example-driver-kubeletplugin-4sk2x   1/1     Running   0          13s
    dra-example-driver-kubeletplugin-cttr2   1/1     Running   0          13s
```

The initial responsibility of each node's local DRA driver is to update the cluster with what devices are available to Pods on that node, by publishing its metadata to the ResourceSlices API. You can check that API to see that each node with a driver is advertising the device class it represents.

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
    kubectl get resourceslices
```

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
    NAME                                 NODE           DRIVER            POOL           AGE
    kind-worker-gpu.example.com-k69gd    kind-worker    gpu.example.com   kind-worker    19s
    kind-worker2-gpu.example.com-qdgpn   kind-worker2   gpu.example.com   kind-worker2   19s
```

At this point, you have successfully installed the example DRA driver, and confirmed its initial configuration. You're now ready to use DRA to schedule Pods.
