Reviewed on 26 May 2021 • Published on 26 May 2021

This page shows you how to create your first Scaleway Elements 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 Compute 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.
- Verify the estimated cost.
Click Create a namespace to finish.

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