Add labels to Pods created by the Astronomer Helm chart

If your organization enforces Pod labeling for security, workload identity, multi-tenancy, or policy enforcement, you can configure Astronomer Software to automatically add labels to all Pods it creates during installation or upgrades.

Prerequisites​

• You must have System Admin permissions to perform an upgrade or installation.

Configure Pod labels​

In your Helm chart, add the podLabels configuration to the values.yaml file during your update or installation process.

global:
    podLabels:
        key: "value"

For example, you can use the label security.level: "high" as a way to identify Pods created by Software using the following code:

global:
    podLabels:
        security.level: "high"

Find labeled Pods​

You can search for Pods using the kubectl command get pods with the label flag. For example, to retrieve a list of all Pods labeled with the key-value pair, security.level=high, you can use the following command:

kubectl -n astronomer get pods -l security.level=high
