Labels

Labels are key:value pairs. They are case-sensitive attributes associated with entities. Labels allow an organization to specify metadata on an entity that can be used for filtering an entity list or for searching across entity types.

For example, you might use the label location:us-west, where location is the key and the us-west is the value.

A maximum of 5 user-defined labels are allowed on each resource.

Key requirements:

• Keys must be 63 characters or less, beginning and ending with an alphanumeric character ([a-z0-9A-Z]) with dashes (-), underscores (_), dots (.), and alphanumeric characters in between.
• Keys must not start with kong, konnect, insomnia, mesh, kic or _. These strings are reserved for Kong.
• Keys are case-sensitive.

Value requirements:

• Values must be 63 characters or less, beginning and ending with an alphanumeric character ([a-z0-9A-Z]) with dashes (-), underscores (_), dots (.), and alphanumeric characters in between.
