Isolation

Dapr namespacing provides isolation and multi-tenancy across many capabilities, giving greater security. Typically applications and components are deployed to namespaces to provide isolation in a given environment, such as Kubernetes.

Dapr supports namespacing in service invocation calls between applications, when accessing components, sending pub/sub messages in consumer groups, and with actors type deployments as examples. Namespacing isolation is supported in both self-hosted and Kubernetes modes.

To get started, create and configure your namespace.

• Self-Hosted
• Kubernetes

kubectl create namespace namespaceA
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=namespaceA
