<!-- This section is incredibly important for producing high-quality, user-focused documentation such as release notes or a development roadmap. It should be possible to collect this information before implementation begins, in order to avoid requiring implementors to split their attention between writing release notes and implementing the feature itself. KEP editors and SIG Docs should help to ensure that the tone and content of the Summary section is useful for a wide audience. A good summary is probably at least a paragraph in length. --> We propose introducing a new cluster-scoped API resource, ClusterResourceClaimTemplate, to allow cluster administrators to define standard Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) templates once at the cluster level. Any workload (via Pod or PodGroup) in any namespace can reference these templates. During Pod or PodGroup scheduling/admission, the control plane's resource claim controller resolves the cluster template and automatically generates a namespace-local ResourceClaim under the Pod's or PodGroup's namespace.
