+#### Cluster-level annotations
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Annotations marked with **\*** configure the YARP cluster, not the route. A cluster is identified by backend service name, namespace, and port. Multiple ingress rules targeting the same backend share the cluster, so conflicting values result in non-deterministic behavior. Ensure consistent values across all ingress rules for the same backend.

 #### Authorization Policy
 
 See https://learn.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/yarp/authn-authz for a list of available policies, or how to add your own custom policies.
