Amazon EKS enables namespace configuration for AWS and Community add-ons

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now supports Kubernetes namespace configuration for AWS and Community add-ons, providing you greater control over how add-ons are organized within your Kubernetes cluster.

With namespace configuration, you can now specify a custom namespace during add-on installation, enabling better organization and isolation of add-on objects within your EKS cluster. This flexibility helps you align add-ons with your operational needs and existing namespace strategy. Once an add-on is installed in a specific namespace, you must remove and recreate the add-on to change its namespace.

This feature is available through the AWS Management Console, Amazon EKS APIs, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and infrastructure as code tools like AWS CloudFormation. Namespace configuration for AWS and Community add-ons is now available in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more, visit the Amazon EKS documentation.
