With Docker Enterprise Edition, administrators can filter the view of Kubernetes objects by the namespace the objects are assigned to. You can specify a single namespace, or you can specify all available namespaces.

Create two namespaces

In this example, you create two Kubernetes namespaces and deploy a service to both of them.

1. Log in to the UCP web UI with an administrator account.
2. In the left pane, click Kubernetes.
3. Click Create to open the Create Kubernetes Object page.

4. In the Object YAML editor, paste the following YAML.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Namespace
   metadata:
    name: blue
   ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Namespace
    metadata:
     name: green
   

5. Click Create to create the blue and green namespaces.

Deploy services

Create a NodePort service in the blue namespace.

1. Navigate to the Create Kubernetes Object page.
2. In the Namespace dropdown, select blue.

3. In the Object YAML editor, paste the following YAML.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     name: app-service-blue
     labels:
       app: app-blue
   spec:
     type: NodePort
     ports:
       - port: 80
         nodePort: 32768
     selector:
       app: app-blue
   

4. Click Create to deploy the service in the blue namespace.

5. Repeat the previous steps with the following YAML, but this time, select green from the Namespace dropdown.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     name: app-service-green
     labels:
       app: app-green
   spec:
     type: NodePort
     ports:
       - port: 80
         nodePort: 32769
     selector:
       app: app-green
   

View services

Currently, the Namespaces view is set to the default namespace, so the Load Balancers page doesn’t show your services.

1. In the left pane, click Namespaces to open the list of namespaces.
2. In the upper-right corner, click the Set context for all namespaces toggle and click Confirm. The indicator in the left pane changes to All Namespaces.
3. Click Load Balancers to view your services.

Filter the view by namespace

With the Set context for all namespaces toggle set, you see all of the Kubernetes objects in every namespace. Now filter the view to show only objects in one namespace.

1. In the left pane, click Namespaces to open the list of namespaces.

2. In the green namespace, click the More options icon and in the context menu, select Set Context.

   

3. Click Confirm to set the context to the green namespace. The indicator in the left pane changes to green.
4. Click Load Balancers to view your app-service-green service. The app-service-blue service doesn’t appear.

To view the app-service-blue service, repeat the previous steps, but this time, select Set Context on the blue namespace.
