CA DRA: upstream ResourceClaim utils #7788
Description
Which component are you using?:
/area cluster-autoscaler
/area core-autoscaler
/wg device-management
Is your feature request designed to solve a problem? If so describe the problem this feature should solve.:
The DRA MVP PR introduced utility functions for interacting with ResourceClaims. Some of them are already implemented upstream, and some of them could be used by other components if they were implemented upstream.
Describe the solution you'd like.:
We should upstream as many of the utility functions as possible and migrate all the relevant components to use them. This will help ensure consistent behavior between different components interacting with the claims.
Additional context.:
This is a part of Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) support in Cluster Autoscaler. An MVP of the support was implemented in #7530 (with the whole implementation tracked in kubernetes/kubernetes#118612). There are a number of post-MVP follow-ups to be addressed before DRA autoscaling is ready for production use - this is one of them.
