A namespace provides a way to organize or group items for purposes of separating the space for different uses or purposes. It allows for the multitenancy feature in ECS. Unlike storage pools and replication groups, many namespaces can be created. Some environments might do well with a single namespace; in other cases, you might consider creating namespaces as follows:
Note: Buckets can also be reported on.
As a workaround, namespaces can be used to allow targeting buckets in specific replication groups for legacy applications. Some legacy applications cannot access a specific storage pool so those applications might have to use buckets that access storage pools through specific replication groups.
