How to change default Namespace in Kubernetes

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new to Kubernetes. By default, all the resources are running in the default namespace. I have created one namespace. But still, the new resources are launching in the default namespace. Can anyone tell me how can I change the default namespace?

Hi@akhtar,

Kubernetes will automatically create one namespace named default namespace. You need to change the default namespace name in the configuration file. You can use the below-given command.

$ kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=namepsace_name

This command will automatically update the namespace name in the configuration file. I hope this will help you.
