Auto Inject Project Name in Cluster Labels

In our July 2023 release, we added support for automatic injection of project name as a cluster label. In Kubernetes, labels are key/value pairs that are attached to objects such as Pods, nodes, etc.

Support for labels in Kubernetes ends at a node level. We extended the "label" construct to clusters over two years back as cluster labels. Cluster labels are critical for multi-cluster workflows and have been the backbone of several unique and differentiated features in the Rafay Kubernetes Operations Platform.

In this release, we have automated the injection of the "name of the project" as a cluster label to all clusters in the project. Read on to understand some of the use cases that are enabled by this feature.

Note: In a separate blog, we will describe how cluster labels power various multi-cluster workflows and operations.
