Okteto namespace operations

An Okteto namespace functions as a Kubernetes development environment, often mapped to a specific user or team scope^[400-devops__01-Concepts-of-Software-Development__okteto.md]. These namespaces act as isolated boundaries within the Okteto Cloud, allowing developers to manage resources and deployments independently^[400-devops__01-Concepts-of-Software-Development__okteto.md].

Listing namespaces

okteto ns list

This command outputs a table displaying the Namespace name and its current Status (e.g., Active)^[400-devops__01-Concepts-of-Software-Development__okteto.md]. An asterisk (*) typically appears next to the namespace that is currently selected as the active context^[400-devops__01-Concepts-of-Software-Development__okteto.md].

Deleting namespaces

Namespaces can be removed from the cluster using the delete command followed by the namespace name^[400-devops__01-Concepts-of-Software-Development__okteto.md].
