## GPU Resource Management in Kubernetes: From Extended Resource to DRA

This blog is part of our DRA series, continuing from our earlier posts: [Introduction to DRA](https://docs.rafay.co/blog/2025/08/23/introduction-to-dynamic-resource-allocation-dra-in-kubernetes/), [Enabling DRA with Kind](https://docs.rafay.co/blog/2025/08/28/enable-dynamic-resource-allocation-dra-in-kubernetes/), and MIG with DRA. This post focuses on pre-DRA vs post-DRA GPU management on Rafay upstream Kubernetes clusters.

## Kubernetes v1.34 for Rafay MKS

As part of our continuous effort to bring the latest Kubernetes versions to our users, support for [Kubernetes v1.34](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/08/27/kubernetes-v1-34-release/) will be added soon to the Rafay Operations Platform for MKS cluster types.

Both new cluster provisioning and in-place upgrades of existing clusters are supported. As with most Kubernetes releases, this version also deprecates and removes a number of features. To ensure there is zero impact to our customers, we have made sure that **every feature** in the Rafay Kubernetes Operations Platform has been validated on this Kubernetes version. This will be promoted from Preview to Production in a few days and will be made available to all customers.
