Namespaces

Namespaces enable division of cluster resources among multiple users through quotas. Namespaces are suited for environments in which multiple users spread across multiple teams or projects. A namespace created on the MCP console is a multi-cluster namespace. After it is created, a namespace with the same name will be created in all clusters that join the MCP instance.

  • You can modify the resource quota of a multi-cluster namespace on the cluster console. The modified quota applies only to the current cluster. The namespace quota in other clusters does not change.
  • A multi-cluster namespace will be created again after it is deleted from the cluster console.
  • The namespaces mentioned in this section are multi-cluster namespaces.

Creating a Namespace

  1. Log in to the MCP console. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Management > Namespaces. Click Create Namespace.
  2. Set namespace parameters based on Table 1.
