## Syntax and character set
_Labels_ are key value pairs. Valid label keys have two segments: an optional prefix and name, separated by a slash (`/`). The name segment is required and must be 63 characters or less, beginning and ending with an alphanumeric character (`[a-z0-9A-Z]`) with dashes (`-`), underscores (`_`), dots (`.`), and alphanumerics between. The prefix is optional. If specified, the prefix must be a DNS subdomain: a series of DNS labels separated by dots (`.`), not longer than 253 characters in total, followed by a slash (`/`).
If the prefix is omitted, the label key is presumed to be private to the user. System components which use labels must specify a prefix. The `kubernetes.io/` prefix is reserved for kubernetes core components.
If the prefix is omitted, the label key is presumed to be private to the user. Automated system components (e.g. ```kube-scheduler```, ```kube-controller-manager```, ```kube-apiserver```, ```kubectl```, or other third-party automation) which add labels to end-user objects must specify a prefix. The `kubernetes.io/` prefix is reserved for kubernetes core components.
Valid label values must be 63 characters or less and must be empty or begin and end with an alphanumeric character (`[a-z0-9A-Z]`) with dashes (`-`), underscores (`_`), dots (`.`), and alphanumerics between.
