+Adding labels
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*Labels* allow adding custom attributes to your cluster configuration. A label is
+an arbitrary ``key: value`` pair with a string key and value.

+
+Labels can be defined in any configuration scope. An instance receives labels from
+all scopes it belongs to. The ``labels`` section in a group or a replica set scope
+applies to all instances of the group or a replica set. To override these labels on
+the instance level or add instance-specific labels, define another ``labels`` section in the instance scope.

+    :dedent:
+
+Example on GitHub: `labels <https://github.com/tarantool/doc/tree/latest/doc/code_snippets/snippets/config/instances.enabled/labels>`_
+
+To access instance labels from the application code, call the :ref:`config:get() <config_api_reference_get>` function:

+    ---
+    - production: 'true'
+      rack: '10'
+      dc: east

+Labels can be used to direct function calls to instances that match certain criteria
+using the :ref:`connpool module <connpool_module>`.
