## AI overview

The article explains how Kubernetes 1.34's Dynamic Resource Allocation changes GPU scheduling. It describes limitations of treating GPUs as identical resources, including out-of-memory errors, rigid MIG resource types, pending jobs, and wasted capacity, then presents DRA as a way for workloads to express more explicit GPU requirements.
