About Label / Annotation Generator (app.kubernetes.io/*)

The recommended Kubernetes labels use the app.kubernetes.io/* prefix to describe an application consistently. The Label Generator builds this set from a few fields and outputs ready-to-paste YAML.

Enter at least an app name; optional fields add instance, version, component, part-of, managed-by and tier.

Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.
