?Let's understand the concept of virtual cluster inside a "physical cluster in K8S !!"?
When we are working with a large account/organization we generally come across different types of teams/applications but everything in a single large cluster???? sounds make it very difficult to even imagine. What if we have an isolation between all those and draw some boundaries, set limits and organize?,
There comes a topic called "?????????"

What is it ?

It is a K8S object which creates virtual clusters inside the physical cluster

It is a way to divide one physical/main cluster into multiple virtual clusters and provides logical boundaries within the cluster and isolates the resources from being mismanaged.
Why do we need Namespaces?

Teams/projects can use the same cluster without interfering eachother.

Makes it easier to group resources like pods/SVC/configMaps.. logically.

We can manage clusters with thousands of resources easily.

It will Allow us to manage permissions and access controls and restrict the access to specific resources.
? How NameSpace(NS) work in K8S?

Resource Scope:

NS are applied to namespaced objects like Pods,SVC's, configMaps & Secrets.

Some resources like Nodes & Persistent volumes are cluster wide, not namespaced.

Resources with same name can exist in different NS without conflict.

CPU & Memory limits:

we can restrict/set boundaries that how much amount of resources can be consumed.

we can restrict how many resources can be inside the created Namespace ( ex: 5 pods/10pods).

Managing NS:

It is always ideal to manage the NS with manifest files instead of commands for better flexibility, re-use, simple management and changes are predicted and documented.

Default NameSpaces: (important)

???????: Used when we don't mention any specific namespace.

????-??????: Contains critical system components like kube-dns & other controllers. ( Restricted to use until you know what you are doing).

????-??????: Commonly used for cluster-level configuration/information which are meant to be publicly accessible accross the cluster.

????-????-?????: Used to manage the heartbeats of nodes for the node controller.

ResourceQuotas and LimitRanges:

?????????????: Enforce overall usage limits for the Namespace ( ex: total CPU/memory/no. of pods can be created).

???????????: Define per-resource limits within the Namespace ( ex: max& min CPU/memory per pod/container).
Use Cases:

Large organisations with multiple teams/applications.

managing different environments with in same cluster ( dev/stage/prod)

when permissions and limits required.
