From ffa299640288c24b37891edacada5b084d5249df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajesh Deshpande <47311048+rajeshdeshpande02@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 07:28:12 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Details about multiple namespaces (#13539) k8s does not support nested namespaces but this is not specified anywhere in the document.

Also these details are important to mention specifically for users who are coming from Docker UCP background. --- .../docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces.md | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/content/en/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces.md b/content/en/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces.md index 42cdf9d5ee..3e2f1a6206 100644 --- a/content/en/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces.md +++ b/content/en/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces.md @@ -25,7 +25,9 @@ teams, or projects.
