For this exercise, you create two additional Kubernetes namespaces to hold your content.
In a scenario where an organization is using a shared Kubernetes cluster for development and production use cases
The development team would like to maintain a space in the cluster where they can get a view on the list of Pods, Services, and Deployments they use to build and run their application. In this space, Kubernetes resources come and go, and the restrictions on who can or cannot modify resources are relaxed to enable agile development.
The operations team would like to maintain a space in the cluster where they can enforce strict procedures on who can or cannot manipulate the set of Pods, Services, and Deployments that run the production site.
One pattern this organization could follow is to partition the Kubernetes cluster into two namespaces: development and production. Create two new namespaces to hold your work.
Create the development namespace using kubectl
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/examples/admin/namespace-dev.json
```
Create the production namespace using kubectl
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/examples/admin/namespace-prod.json
```
To be sure things are right, list all of the namespaces in the cluster.
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```shell
kubectl get namespaces --show-labels
```
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
NAME STATUS AGE LABELS
default Active 32m <none>
development Active 29s name=development
production Active 23s name=production
```
