They are used to tag resources with metadata that can be used to filter and group resources. Labels are included in the response body of a request to retrieve a resource.

            Labels are user-specified key/value pairs that are attached to API Resources. They are queryable, identifying attributes of a resource, but they do not affect the operation of CloudFoundry.


            For example, an app may be assigned a label with key sensitive and possible values true or false.


            Users could then find all sensitive apps with a selector for sensitive=true, resulting in a response containing only apps having the label key sensitive with a label value of true.


            Labels

            Labels allow users to apply identifying attributes to resources that are meaningful to the user, but not the CloudFoundry system.


            Examples may include (but are not limited to):


            "production" : "true" or "production" : "false"
