What are Kubernetes namespaces and how do they work?

Kubernetes namespaces are a way to divide cluster resources between multiple users or applications. They provide a mechanism for isolating resources, allowing different teams to work in the same cluster without interfering with each other.

Can you explain how to create a namespace in Kubernetes?

Sure! You can create a namespace using the command kubectl create namespace <namespace-name>. This will create a new namespace in your Kubernetes cluster.

What are some common use cases for using namespaces?

Common use cases include separating environments (like dev, test, and prod), managing resources for different teams, and applying different policies or quotas.

How do namespaces affect resource quotas?

Namespaces allow you to set resource quotas on a per-namespace basis, meaning you can limit the resources available to each team or application independently.
