Namespace View

Overview

Namespace View provides comprehensive insights into a single namespace:

  • Cost Breakdown - Total namespace costs with detailed attribution
  • Resource Quotas - Quota usage and limits with visual gauges
  • Limit Ranges - Default resource limits configuration
  • Workloads Table - All deployments, statefulsets, jobs in namespace
  • Resource Allocation - CPU/Memory distribution across workloads
  • Activity Timeline - Recent events and changes

Access: Select cluster (Clusters page or sidebar dropdown) → Namespaces → Select namespace


Key Sections

Resource Quotas:

  • Visual gauges showing CPU, Memory, Storage, Pod usage
  • Color-coded indicators for resource usage levels
  • Click gauge to see quota history and trends

Cost Breakdown:

  • Interactive donut chart
  • Segments: Compute (CPU + Memory), Storage, Network
  • Click segment to drill down

Top Expensive Workloads:

  • Top 5 workloads by cost
  • Trend indicators (↑ ↓ →)
  • Click to view workload details

Workloads Table:

  • Filter by type, status, cost range, efficiency
  • Sort by name, cost, CPU/memory usage, age
  • Search by name or labels
  • Bulk actions and export options

Resource Allocation Charts

CPU Allocation:

  • Stacked bar showing CPU distribution
  • Identifies over-provisioned workloads
  • Shows percentage per workload

Memory Allocation:

  • Similar to CPU, shows memory distribution
  • Highlights waste and efficiency issues

Issue Detection:

  • Over-provisioned: Requested but unused
  • Under-provisioned: Near capacity

Common Workflows

Identify Cost Drivers:

  1. Check Cost Breakdown donut chart
  2. View Top Expensive Workloads
  3. Click highest-cost workload for details
  4. Review Resource Allocation charts

Check Quota Health:

  1. Review Resource Quota gauges
  2. If >80%, consider increase or optimization
  3. Use
    text
    1kubectl edit resourcequota
    to adjust

Optimize Namespace:

  1. Identify over-provisioned workloads
  2. Review Top 5 for right-sizing opportunities
  3. Check for unused resources (orphaned PVCs)
  4. Apply recommendations from Available Savings
