I am running this command to create a deploy. After created it, I look on the labels and I have: "Labels: app=foo " , why the label is “app” if I didn’t specify nothing about labels on my command? :slightly_smiling_face:

kubectl create deploy foo --image=dgkanatsios/simpleapp --port=8080 --replicas=3

Dhawan Shringi:
The command adds the label by default based on the deployment name.

Edith Puclla:
I see, this will always be: “app=” if I don’t set any label, correct?

#4

Dhawan Shringi:
Yes.

Edith Puclla:
thanks :dancer:

Fernando Jimenez:
For deployments the kubectl create does not allow to pass it any labels, therefore it will always generate the app=name-of-deployment

#7

Edith Puclla:
I see :slightly_smiling_face:, is it possible change a label of a deployment with imperative commands?

#8

Tej_Singh_Rana:
Yes, you can use kubectl label command.

#9

Tej_Singh_Rana:
app=foo
First remove it,

kubectl label deploy foo app-

Hyphen(-) Sign -> To remove the existing label.

then add new label,

kubectl label deploy foo key=value
