(in other words, neither the `keptn.sh/app`
or `app.kubernetes.io/part-of` annotation/label is populated),
one `KeptnApp` resource is created automatically for each workload.

> **Note**: Keptn application discovery determines the name of the `KeptnWorkload`
by concatenating the values of the `app.kubernetes.io/name` (or `keptn.sh/workload`)
and `app.kubernetes.io/part-of` (or `keptn.sh/app`) annotations.
This means that when only workload and version annotations/labels are provided — without
the `keptn.sh/app` or `app.kubernetes.io/part-of` annotation — Keptn creates a `KeptnApp`
resource for each `KeptnWorkload`.
Consequently, observability traces will capture individual `KeptnWorkload`
resources, but they will not represent the combined workloads that make up the complete
deployed application.
