kubernetes yaml standards

[Staggerlee011]

do you have any naming standards that you follow to manage your yaml files. ie services are always -service, cant see any blog posts about it but does look like as your cluster grows it could get very confusing without.

do you have any label standards as well :)? tier, app, version seem to be common but have you found others that you like to include?

I tend to find every team has its own existing standards before they implemented Docker/Kubernetes that we just add as labels or annotations.
