 A desired state of an object is described by a Deployment, and if changes to that spec are _applied_, the deployment controller changes the actual state to the desired state at a controlled rate.
 
+- Use the [Kubernetes common labels](/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/common-labels/) for common use cases. These standardized labels enrich the metadata in a way that allows tools, including `kubectl` and [dashboard](/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard), to work in an interoperable way. It also enhances the capability to query objects using a common vernacular.
 - You can manipulate labels for debugging. Because Kubernetes controllers (such as ReplicaSet) and Services match to Pods using selector labels, removing the relevant labels from a Pod will stop it from being considered by a controller or from being served traffic by a Service. If you remove the labels of an existing Pod, its controller will create a new Pod to take its place. This is a useful way to debug a previously "live" Pod in a "quarantine" environment. To interactively remove or add labels, use [`kubectl label`](/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#label).
