As a DevOps engineer you can update self-service namespaces using the kubectl edit command.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have owner permissions on the namespace that you want to update.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Supervisor Cluster.
    kubectl vsphere login --server IP-ADDRESS-SUPERVISOR-CLUSTER --vsphere-username VCENTER-SSO-USERNAME
  2. Describe the namespace that you want to update.
    kubectl describe ns testns-1
    Name:         testns
    Labels:       vSphereClusterID=domain-c50
    Annotations:  my-ann: test-ann-2
                  vmware-system-namespace-owner-count: 2
                  vmware-system-resource-pool: resgroup-153
                  vmware-system-resource-pool-cpu-limit: 0.4770
                  vmware-system-resource-pool-memory-limit: 2000Mi
                  vmware-system-self-service-namespace: true
                  vmware-system-vm-folder: group-v154
    Status:       Active

     Name:             testns-1

     requests.storage  0     5000Mi
     
     
     Name:                                                                           testns-1-storagequota
     Resource                                                                        Used  Hard
     --------                                                                        ---   ---
     namespace-service-storage-profile.storageclass.storage.k8s.io/requests.storage  0     9223372036854775807
  3. Edit the namespace using the kubectl edit command.
    For example, kubectl edit ns testns-1
    The kubectl edit command opens the namespace manifest in the text editor defined by your KUBE_EDITOR or the EDITOR environment variable.
  4. Update the labels.
    For example, my-label=test-label
  5. Update the annotations.
    For example, my-ann: test-ann
  6. Describe the namespace to see the updates.
    root@localhost [ /tmp ]# kubectl describe ns testns-1
    Name:         testns-1
    Labels:       my-label=test-label
                  vSphereClusterID=domain-c50
    Annotations:  my-ann: test-ann
