# Namespace

Create a namespace in the shared cluster. Namespaces let you isolate your deployments from other developers' deployments.

ForgeRock recommends that you deploy the Ping Identity Platform in a namespace other than the `default` namespace. Deploying to a non-default namespace lets you separate workloads in a cluster. Separating a workload into a namespace lets you delete the workload easily; just delete the namespace.

To create a namespace:

1. Create a namespace in your Kubernetes cluster:

   ```
   $ kubectl create namespace my-namespace
   namespace/my-namespace created
   ```

2. Make the new namespace the active namespace in your local Kubernetes context. For example:

   ```
   $ kubens my-namespace
   Context "my-context" modified.
   Active namespace is "my-namespace".
   ```
