Team namespaces

A namespace per team is automatically created in every NAIS cluster both on-prem and in GCP. Teams are managed using NAIS console.

Features of team namespaces:

  • Team members have full admin access in that namespace. This includes kubectl commands like scale, port-forward, exec etc.
  • Support for Kubernetes native secrets as an alternative to Vault.
  • People from other teams cannot read native secrets in your team's namespace
  • People from other teams does not have write access to your team's namespace. This prevents accidental changes or removal of Kubernetes resources used by your team.
  • No longer forces use of the nais.io/Application abstraction. If nais.io/Application doesn't support your requirements, or you simply prefer handling these resources yourself, you are free to do so.

Shared namespaces are no longer available as of December 2022.
