Reviewed on 20 December 2021 • Published on 26 May 2021

This page shows you how to create your first functions namespace. Namespaces allow you to group your functions and share environment variables between them.

Requirements:

You have an account and are logged into the Scaleway Console

Click Functions in the Serverless section of the side menu. The functions page displays.
Click Create a namespace. The functions namespace creation wizard displays.
Complete the following steps in the wizard:
- Enter a name and optionally a description for your namespace. The name must only contain alphanumeric characters.
- Choose a region, which is the geographical location in which your namespace will be deployed.
- Enter any environment variables required for your namespace. Environment variables configured in a namespace will be available in all functions/apps within the same namespace. For each environment variable, click +Add and ender the key/value pair.
Click Create a namespace to finish.

Your namespace is now created and you are taken to its Functions tab.
