What's New in Container Namespace Service – Labels & Annotations Now Available​

Starting now, the Container Namespace Service supports setting Labels and Annotations when creating and managing namespaces.

✅ Advantages:

  • Labels enable structured categorization of namespaces (e.g., by team, environment, application type).
  • Annotations provide the ability to store additional metadata such as descriptions, responsible parties, or operational information.
  • Improves automation and transparency in the cluster.

ℹ️ Note:
Labels and Annotations can be set both when creating a namespace and subsequently.
