<p>I am unable to add a label to my kubernetes pod. Why is this not working?</p>

<pre><code>$ kubectl describe pods secure-monolith | grep Label
Labels:     app=monolith 

$ kubectl label pods secure-monolith "secure=enabled"
pod "secure-monolith" labeled

$ kubectl describe pods secure-monolith | grep Label
Labels:     app=monolith

$ kubectl label pods secure-monolith "secure=enabled"
'secure' already has a value (enabled), and --overwrite is false
</code></pre>

<p>As you can see, it says the label was successfully added, however the label does not appear when "describing" the pod; and it can also not be added again.</p>

<p>kubectl get pod <strong>POD_NAME</strong> --show-labels</p>
<p>This command shows all the labels added to the pod</p>
