Containerized applications are deployed across one or more vSphere Pods in a vSphere Namespace. A vSphere Namespace is backed by a Resource Pool which is used to control resource limits. In the following example, a new vSphere Namespace will be created to explore storage integration further. To create a vSphere Namespace, follow these steps:
Note: vSphere Namespace names must be DNS-compliant. The character requirements are:
Alphanumeric (a-z and 0-9) string with maximum length of 63 characters.
‘-‘ character allowed anywhere except the first or last character.
Must be unique across all namespace enabled clusters within a vCenter Server.
The devops vSphere Namespace is now created. The next step would typically be to delegate permissions to a DevOps team. These steps are covered in depth in the VMware document vSphere with Tanzu Configuration and Management.
