# Introduction In this challenge, we will explore the `kubectl annotate` command, which is a powerful tool used in Kubernetes to add or modify metadata annotations to Kubernetes resources. Annotations are used to attach arbitrary metadata to Kubernetes resources in the form of key-value pairs, and they can be used to store additional information about a resource that may not be used by the Kubernetes system itself but can be utilized by external tools or processes. Throughout this challenge, we will start with simple examples and gradually move towards more complex use cases of the `kubectl annotate` command, showcasing its versatility and usefulness in various scenarios.
