Configuring Labels and Annotations

You can add an annotation on the console or using YAML.

Adding an Annotation on the Console

When creating a workload on the console, you can choose Advanced Settings > Labels and Annotations and add pod annotations to enable advanced functions.

For example, to add 14 GiB of ephemeral storage capacity for a pod, set Pod Annotation to resource.cce.io/extra-ephemeral-storage-in-GiB=14 and click Confirm.

Adding an Annotation Using YAML

When creating a workload using YAML, you can use the annotations parameter to enable advanced pod functions.

For example, when creating an Nginx workload, you can use annotations to add 14 GiB of ephemeral storage capacity for a pod.
