+- Status: [draft] <!-- optional -->
+- Deciders: [Richard, Esther, Arno, Akshay, David R.] <!-- optional -->
+- Date: [YYYY-MM-DD when the decision was last updated] <!-- optional. To customize the ordering without relying on Git creation dates and filenames -->
+- Tags: [greenhouse / cloudoperators] <!-- optional -->

+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+Define which functionalities rely on labels and which labels these are. This should be done for the entire stack (e.g. Metrics, Logs, Alerts, Playbooks, Plutono, UIs[Supernova, ...] ...)
+This also includes indentifying mandatory labels (e.g. owner-info etc.), which are used for alert routing... 
+
+The goal of this ADR is to define a common set of labels that can be used across all components of the greenhouse stack. These labels should then also be enforced, defaulted and integrated across Greenhouse.

+## Decision Drivers <!-- optional -->
