A ResourceClaim describes a request for access to attached resources, such as
{{glossary_tooltip text="devices" term_id="device"}}, in the cluster. ResourceClaims
are used in
[dynamic resource allocation (DRA)](/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/dynamic-resource-allocation/)
to provide Pods with access to a specific resource.

ResourceClaims can be created by workload operators or generated by Kubernetes
based on a
{{glossary_tooltip text="ResourceClaimTemplate" term_id="resourceclaimtemplate"}}.
