Kubernetes Annotate Command | Challenge
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 25 minutes
In this challenge, we will explore the kubectl annotate command, which is a powerful tool used in Kubernetes to add or modify metadata annotations to Kubernetes resources. Annotations are used to attach arbitrary metadata to Kubernetes resources in the form of key-value pairs, and they can be used to store additional information about a resource that may not be used by the Kubernetes system itself but can be utilized by external tools or processes.
