Add Labels & Annotations

Kubernetes Pods support labels and annotations. These are often used to interact with in-cluster operators. For example, collecting metrics in Prometheus or auto-discovery of services for a Gateway. 
Depending on how this feature is implemented by the Workload Profile itself, this may only make up a subset of the labels and annotations on the Pod.
To specify labels and annotations in Humanitec:
UI
Start on the Workload Details Page and navigate to the labels & annotations section. If you haven't created a Workload yet, please start here. 
Click on the labels & annotations card. This will open a configuration overlay.
You now have the option to add labels or annotations by clicking on the + Add label or + Add annotation buttons. Both are defined as key-value pairs but validated slightly differently. Check the requirements below for further information:
​Labels: validation requirements​
​Annotations: validation requirements​
Once you're done, click on Save changes.
​
How to add labels and annotations to your Workload
You can edit or delete the labels and annotations in your Workload anytime by re-accessing the configuration overlay.
