How to create a Containers namespace
Reviewed on 02 September 2024 • Published on 26 May 2021
This page shows you how to create a Serverless Containers namespace. Namespaces allow you to group your containers and share environment variables between them.
- A Scaleway account logged into the console
- Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- Click Containers in the Serverless section of the side menu. The list of your containers namespaces displays.
- Click Create namespace. If you have no existing Serverless Containers resources in your current Project, click Deploy container.
- Complete the following steps in the wizard:
- Enter a name, and optionally a description for your namespace. The name must only contain alphanumeric characters and dashes.
- 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 containers/apps within the same namespace. For each environment variable, click +Add new variable and enter the key / value pair.
- Set secret environment variables (optional). Secrets are environment variables which are injected into your container and stored securely, but not displayed in the console after initial validation. Add a key and a value.
- Verify the estimated cost.
- Click Create namespace only to finish, or click Create namespace and add container if you want to deploy a container next.
