    "incantation": "When creating or maintaining an AlloyDB instance, use `--labels` on create or create-secondary to assign labels; use the update command’s label flags to change, remove, or clear them.",

      "gcloud alloydb instances create <instance> --cluster=<cluster> --region=<region> --instance-type=<instance-type> --labels=<key>=<value>",

      "--labels: On create and create-secondary, list of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add. Keys and values must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens, underscores, lowercase characters, and numbers.",
      "--update-labels: List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to update; changes existing values or creates new labels. Keys and values must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens, underscores, lowercase characters, and numbers.",
      "--remove-labels: List of label keys to remove; missing labels are silently ignored. Mutually exclusive with `--clear-labels`; if combined with `--update-labels`, updates apply first.",
      "--clear-labels: Remove all labels. Mutually exclusive with `--remove-labels`; if combined with `--update-labels`, clearing applies first."
