Hello from the blog team.

We recommend drafting in either HackMD or Google Docs; once you're happy with the text and your buddy / reviewer is happy too, you can switch back to Git / GitHub ready for it to merge in.

There's a guide to all this, well most of it, on the Kubernetes website.

Hi @chadmcrowell, thanks for setting this up! I wanted to flag that @mortent is writing an umbrella blog post covering all DRA-related updates for v1.36, similar to what was done for v1.34. The placeholder PR for that is kubernetes/website#54567.

Since Resource Health Status (KEP-4680) is closely related to DRA (it exposes device health from both Device Plugin and DRA), we think it makes sense to fold this into that umbrella post rather than maintain a separate blog. I'll coordinate with @mortent to make sure our feature is covered there.

I'm happy to close this PR once we confirm it's included. Let me know if that works for the comms process.
