Namespace for the Helm Chart

Very interested in the new Chart

But one point not clear, the examples all use the namespace ‘manticore’ - is that actually a requirement, or can you call the namespace anything? (particular so can have test/staging/production instances)

Also is the intention the namespace is used solely for manticore, or can you use an existing namespace? (eg to put the new manticore instances in the same namespace as the main application pods)

Similly, is the ‘cluster name’ tied to the namespace? Notice, its a specific config variable, so presumably free to change it.

Want to get the namespace right before can test it :slight_smile:

Hello Barry

No, it’s not. You can install it into any namespace.

Also is the intention the namespace is used solely for manticore, or can you use an existing namespace? (eg to put the new manticore instances in the same namespace as the main application pods)

No intention to separate manticore in a dedicated namespace. You can use any namespace.

Similly, is the ‘cluster name’ tied to the namespace? Notice, its a specific config variable, so presumably free to change it.

No, it’s not. namespace != cluster name.
See worker.clusterName variable in values.yaml and modify it if you need. Or you can specify right in helm install to make it more portable if needed by keeping the original default values.yaml intact.

Thank you!
