Recommended Labels — Web Application With A Database
Consider a slightly more complicated application: a web application (WordPress) using a database (MySQL), installed using Helm.
Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions).
Consider a slightly more complicated application: a web application (WordPress) using a database (MySQL), installed using Helm. The following snippets illustrate the start of objects used to deploy this application.
The start to the following Deployment is used for WordPress
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: wordpress
app.kubernetes.io/instance: wordpress-abcxyz
app.kubernetes.io/version: "4.9.4"
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
app.kubernetes.io/component: server
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: wordpress
...
```
The Service is used to expose WordPress
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: wordpress
app.kubernetes.io/instance: wordpress-abcxyz
app.kubernetes.io/version: "4.9.4"
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
app.kubernetes.io/component: server
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: wordpress
...
```
MySQL is exposed as a StatefulSet with metadata for both it and the larger application it belongs to
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: mysql
app.kubernetes.io/instance: mysql-abcxyz
app.kubernetes.io/version: "5.7.21"
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
app.kubernetes.io/component: database
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: wordpress
...
```
The Service is used to expose MySQL as part of WordPress
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: mysql
app.kubernetes.io/instance: mysql-abcxyz
app.kubernetes.io/version: "5.7.21"
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
app.kubernetes.io/component: database
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: wordpress
...
```
With the MySQL StatefulSet and Service you'll notice information about both MySQL and WordPress, the broader application, are included.
