Hierarchical Namespaces are a simple extension to Kubernetes namespaces that makes it easy to manage groups of namespaces that share a common concept of ownership. They are especially useful in clusters that are shared by multiple teams, but the owners do not need to be people. For example, you might want to make an Operator an owner of a set of namespaces.
This guide explains how to use hierarchical namespaces, explains some of the concepts behind them for a more in-depth understanding, and covers some best practices.
