A switch is an alternative to the checkbox component.
Use a switch when your user needs to perform instantaneous actions without confirmation.
Use checkbox if your user has to perform additional steps for changes to become effective.
Attribute

Outcome
aria-labelledby="..." or aria-label="..."
.pf-c-switch__input
Indicates the action triggered by the switch. If an additional text label is included with the switch besides .pf-c-switch__label.pf-m-on, then aria-labelledby can reference the id of this text, or this text can be used as the value for aria-label. If the text included for .pf-c-switch__label.pf-m-on provides additional meaning to the primary label that's referenced, then it can also be represented as part of the aria-labelledby or aria-label attribute.
