Namespace

A namespace is a virtual cluster that, as the name suggests, serves to create a distinct area within the physical cluster. It allows Kubernetes to manage multiple clusters (which could be multiple different applications (term loosely used) within the same product) in a single physical cluster

Namespaces provide us a way to group and segment pods, rcs, volumes, and secrets

  • A namespace functions as a grouping mechanism inside of Kubernetes. Services, pods, replication controllers, and volumes can easily cooperate within a namespace, and the namespace provides a degree of isolation from other parts of the cluster.
