- Source: [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/5bd693ae1897dee5e2ce71c2cc08879c1c7eff51/src/Aspire.Hosting.Kubernetes/Resources/BaseKubernetesResource.cs)

Gets or sets the metadata for the Kubernetes resource.

```csharp
public ObjectMetaV1 Metadata { get; set; }
```

## Remarks

The metadata contains standard information such as the resource’s name, namespace, labels, annotations, and other Kubernetes-specific properties. It is encapsulated in an [ObjectMetaV1](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting.kubernetes/objectmetav1.md) object, which provides properties for managing the resource’s unique identifier (UID), name, namespace, generation, and other relevant details like annotations, labels, and owner references.
