kubectl label

CautionAdd/remove labels

kubectl label <kind>/<name> key=value

Manages labels (key- removes). Stripping a label quietly pulls a pod out of its Service — a neat quarantine trick.

Examples

kubectl label pod web-abc app-Detach a pod from its Service

Syntax

kubectl label <res> key=value [key-]

Before you run it

Label edits change selector matches.
