Lab Solution

The easiest way to see labels for an object is with the show-labels option to the get command:

kubectl get nodes --show-labels

To see specific label values you can print the labels as columns:

kubectl get nodes --label-columns kubernetes.io/arch,kubernetes.io/os

Alternatively you can query the labels field in the metadata using JSONPath:

kubectl get node <your-node> -o jsonpath='{.metadata.labels}'

Or you can query for specific values with a Go template:

# with Bash:
kubectl get node <your-node> -o go-template=$''

# or with PowerShell:
kubectl get node docker-desktop -o go-template=''

(JSONPath doesn't like the forward slash in the label key)

Back to the exercises.
