You have a kustomization that includes a Deployment, a Service, and a ConfigMap. You need to add the label 'app: myapp' and the annotation 'owner: team-a' to all three resources when they are deployed. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Add commonLabels and commonAnnotations fields to the kustomization.yaml file.

Use a strategic merge patch that adds the label and annotation to each resource.

Add the label and annotation to the namespace object only.

Edit each resource YAML file to include the label and annotation manually.

You have a base kustomization that defines a Deployment with two containers: 'app' and 'sidecar'. In your overlay, you need to change the image of the 'app' container to 'myapp:v2'. You also want to ensure that the 'sidecar' container image remains unchanged. Which images transformer entry is correct?

images: - name: myapp newTag: v2

images: - name: app newName: myapp:v2

images: - name: app digest: sha256:...
