+### Pod Name Label
+
+When the StatefulSet controller creates a Pod, it adds a label, `statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name`, 
+that is set to the name of the Pod. This label allows you to attach a Service to a specific Pod in 
+the StatefulSet.
+
 ## Deployment and Scaling Guarantees
 
 * For a StatefulSet with N replicas, when Pods are being deployed, they are created sequentially, in order from {0..N-1}.
