This document describes the required tasks to prepare your Kubernetes cluster for deploying StreamNative Platform. To perform these tasks, you must have the appropriate Kubernetes cluster-level permissions.

​
Create a Kubernetes namespace for StreamNative Platform

  1. Create a Kubernetes namespace to deploy StreamNative Platform into: 
    kubectl create namespace <k8s_namespace>
  2. (Optional) Set the new namespace as the current namespace. 
    kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=<k8s_namespace>
After setting the new namespace as the current namespace, you do not need to add the --namespace flag in the subsequent kubectl commands as the commands assume the current namespace.
