> When `targetSelectAll` is `true`, it will add the annotations to all pods (`targetSelector` is ignored in this case)
> When `targetSelector` is a list, each entry is a string, with the pod name that will add the annotations. Can have multiple entries.
> When `targetSelector` is a empty, it will add the annotations to the primary pod
