MAIA Namespace #

In MAIA, the namespace is a way to organize and manage resources in a Kubernetes cluster. Namespaces are intended for use in environments with many users spread across multiple teams or projects. Namespaces are a way to divide cluster resources between multiple users (via resource quota). Namespaces are created on a per-project basis, with each project having its own namespace. The namespace is used to isolate resources, such as pods, services, and deployments, from other projects. This isolation ensures that resources are not shared between projects, which can help prevent conflicts and security issues. At the same time, namespaces allow users to share resources within a project. For example, a namespace can contain multiple pods, services, and deployments that are all part of the same project. This sharing of resources within a namespace can help reduce duplication and improve resource utilization, promoting project collaboration and efficiency.
