Pull request overview
Adds a new AKS blog post describing how to enable Kubernetes Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) for NVIDIA vGPU-backed node pools, targeting Kubernetes 1.35 AI conformance readiness.
Changes:
- Introduces a new blog post with end-to-end setup steps for DRA + NVIDIA vGPU on AKS (node pool, labels, Helm install, verification).
- Documents key Helm values and verification commands for
DeviceClassandResourceSlicediscovery.

My main comment is, how is this article different from https://blog.aks.azure.com/2025/11/17/dra-devices-and-drivers-on-kubernetes#run-a-gpu-workload-using-dra-drivers ?
Should we add a vCPU specific example?

| In recent months, dynamic resource allocation (DRA) has emerged as the standard mechanism to consume GPU resources in Kubernetes. With DRA, accelerators like GPUs are no longer exposed as static extended resources (for example, `nvidia.com/gpu`) but are dynamically allocated through `DeviceClasses` and `ResourceClaims`. This unlocks richer scheduling semantics and better integration with virtualization technologies like NVIDIA vGPU. |
