A Kubernetes namespace is a way to organize and isolate resources within a Kubernetes cluster. It allows multiple teams or applications to share the same cluster without interfering with each other's workloads. Key features of namespaces include:
- Isolation: Resources in different namespaces are isolated from each other, which helps prevent conflicts.
- Resource Management: You can apply resource quotas and limits at the namespace level.
- Access Control: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) can be implemented to manage permissions for different namespaces.
Namespaces are useful for managing environments (like development, testing, and production) within the same cluster. By default, Kubernetes includes a few namespaces, such as default, kube-system, and kube-public. You can create custom namespaces as needed.
