Namespaces are used to organize objects in a cluster and provide a way to divide cluster resources. Names of resources need to be unique within a namespace, but not across namespaces. Namespace-based scoping is applicable only for namespaced objects _(e.g. Deployments, Services, etc)_ and not for cluster-wide objects _(e.g. StorageClass, Nodes, PersistentVolumes, etc)_.
