**`annotations`** (object, optional) contains arbitrary metadata for the container.
This information MAY be structured or unstructured.
Annotations are key-value maps.
Annotations MUST be a key-value map where both the key and value MUST be strings.
While the value MUST be present, it MAY be an empty string.
Keys MUST be unique within this map, and best practice is to namespace the keys.
Keys SHOULD be named using a reverse domain notation - e.g. `com.example.myKey`.
Keys using the `org.opencontainers` namespace are reserved and MUST NOT be used by subsequent specifications.
If there are no annotations then this property MAY either be absent or an empty map.
Implementations that are reading/processing this configuration file MUST NOT generate an error if they encounter an unknown annotation key.

```json
"annotations": {
"key1" : "value1",
"key2" : "value2"
"com.example.gpu-cores" : "2"
}
```

## Extensibility
Implementations that are reading/processing this configuration file MUST NOT generate an error if they encounter an unkown property.
Instead they MUST ignore unknown properties.
