Workspaces

Introducing Workspaces

Workspaces give you the flexibility to represent your organization in a way that makes sense for your team and configuration. For example, you can create separate workspaces for each department, product, or business function. Each workspace manages their own clusters and role-based permissions, while retaining an overall organization-level view of all clusters in operation.

Global / Workspace UI

The UI is designed to be accessible for different roles at different levels:

• Global: At the top level, IT administrators manage all clusters across all workspaces.

• Workspace: Devops administrators manage multiple clusters within a workspace.

• Projects: Devops administrators or developers manage configuration and services across multiple clusters.

Default Workspace

To get started immediately, you can use the default workspace deployed in Kommander. Your workspace delegation can be done at a later time.

Create a Workspace

In Kommander you can create your own Workspaces. The following steps describe this procedure.

1. From the workspace selection dropdown at the top of the screen, select Create Workspace.

   

2. Type a name and description and select Save. The workspace is now accessible from the workspace selection dropdown.

   

Add, Edit, and Delete Workspace Annotations and Labels

When creating or editing a workspace, you can use the Advanced Options to add, edit, or delete annotations and labels to your workspace. Both the annotations and labels are applied to the workspace namespace.

1. From the workspace selection dropdown at the top of the screen, select the workspace you want to edit. Select the Actions dropdown button and select Edit Workspace.

2. Select the Advanced options.

3. Type in new Key and Value labels for your workspace or edit existing Key and Value labels.

   

NOTE: Labels that are added to a workspace, are also applied to all of the clusters in the workspace.

Delete a Workspace

In Kommander you can delete existing Workspaces. The following steps describe this procedure.

NOTE: Workspaces can only be deleted if all the clusters in the workspace have been deleted or detached.

1. From the workspace selection dropdown at the top of the screen, select Global.

2. From the left rail menu, select on Workspaces.

3. Select the three-button action menu to the right of the workspace you want to delete and then select Delete:

   

4. Confirm deleting the Workspace in the Delete Workspace dialog box.
