### Examples
{{< badge color=blue text="blue badge" >}}
{{< badge color=amber text="amber badge" >}}
{{< badge color=red text="red badge" >}}
{{< badge color=green text="green badge" >}}
{{< badge color=violet text="violet badge" >}}
You can also make a badge a link.
[{{< badge color="blue" text="badge with a link" >}}](../_index.md)
### Usage guidelines
We use badges to indicate new content and product content in various stages of the release lifecycle:
- The violet badge to highlight new early access or experimental content
- The blue badge to highlight beta content
- The green badge to highlight new content that is either GA or not product-related content, such as guides/learning paths
Best practice is to use this badge for no longer than 2 months post release of the feature.
### Markup
```go
{{</* badge color=amber text="amber badge" */>}}
[{{</* badge color="blue" text="badge with a link" */>}}](../overview.md)
