Onboard Namespaces

You can add onboard namespaces from connected clusters onto a workspace.

info

Across our documentation, we refer to the workspace as the slice workspace. The two terms are used interchangeably.

If you have added the namespace for a workspace, use that namespace. You can use the namespace added for a workspace. To add the namespace for a workspace, see onboard existing namespaces.

Otherwise, create a new namespace for the user by using the following command:

kubectl create ns <>

Example

kubectl create ns peter-workspace

Expected Output

namespace/peter-workspace created

Retrieve the namespace using the following command:

kubectl get ns <namespace>

Example

kubectl get ns peter-workspace

Expected Output

NAME              STATUS   AGE
peter-workspace   Active   8s

Onboard Existing Namespaces

To onboard namespaces:

1. Go to Namespaces on the left sidebar.

   

2. (Optional) Expand the dropdown menu of each slice to see the clusters, deployment location, and cloud type.

3. On the Manage Namespaces page, select the slice that you want to add namespaces to.

   

4. Click Add Namespaces.

5. On the Step 1 - Add Namespaces tab, select namespaces that you want to add, which appear under Selected Namespaces. You can also search by namespace or cluster in the search bar. On the search bar, click the search by namespace label to see the search by cluster option.

   

6. Click Add to workspace.

7. On the Step 2- Generate YAML and Apply tab, towards the bottom of the page, under Code Preview, review the slice YAML file that contains the namespaces that you have just added under namespaceIsolationProfile.

   

8. Click Apply YAML.

9. On the Step 3 - Finalize tab, in case if you want to see the namespaces, click View all for the workspace.

   

10. Click Done.

11. On the Namespaces, click View all for the workspace to verify the namespaces that you have onboarded.

Offboard Namespaces from a Workspace

To offboard namespaces from a workspace:

1. Go to Namespaces on the left sidebar.

2. Select the workspace from which you want to offboard namespaces from, and click Add Namespaces.

3. On the Step 1 - Add Namespaces tab, in the Add Namespaces section, unselect the onboarded namespaces. Alternatively, under SELECTED NAMESPACES, click the x icon next to the onboarded namespaces.

4. Enter the text OFFBOARD to offboard the namespace from a workspace.

   info

   While the namespace offboarding is in progress, no operations on the workspace are allowed.

5. On the Step 2 - Generate YAML and APPLY tab, you will see offboarding namespace is in progress before it is completely offboarded.
