Description: Annotations in software systems are key-value pairs that allow arbitrary metadata to be associated with objects within the system. These annotations are useful for storing additional information that cannot be expressed through labels, such as descriptions, URLs, or any other data that may be relevant for the management and operation of resources. Unlike labels, which are primarily used for selecting and grouping objects, annotations are more flexible and can contain more extensive and varied information. This makes them a valuable tool for developers and system administrators, as they facilitate documentation and tracking of specific configurations. Annotations can be used in different contexts within various software systems, allowing for better organization and management of infrastructure. Their implementation is straightforward and can be done through configuration files, enabling smooth integration into DevOps workflows and process automation.
