+# Require certain labels
+
+In many cases, you may require that at least a certain number of labels are assigned to each Pod from a select list of approved labels. This sample policy demonstrates the [`anyPattern`](https://kyverno.io/docs/writing-policies/validate/#anypattern---logical-or-across-multiple-validation-patterns) option in a policy by requiring any of the two possible labels defined within. A pod must either have the label `app.kubernetes.io/name` or `app.kubernetes.io/component` defined.

+# Require labels
+
+Labels are a fundamental and important way to assign descriptive metadata to Kubernetes resources, especially Pods. Labels are especially important as the number of applications grow and are composed in different ways.
+
+This sample policy requires that the label `app.kubernetes.io/name` be defined on all Pods. If you wish to require that all Pods have multiple labels defined (as opposed to [any labels from an approved list](RequireCertainLabels.md)), this policy can be altered by adding an additional rule block which checks for a second (or third, etc.) label name.
