services / Kubernetes / Namespaces

Namespaces isolate resources within a Kubernetes cluster. This is a logical isolation, that allows you to group and segregate resources like Pods, Services, Deployments. Kubernetes role-based access control (RBAC) defines Roles and ClusterRoles. The former is scoped to a specific namespaces, meaning Roles only grant permissions within the scope of one namespace.
