5.3. Default projects
OpenShift Container Platform comes with a number of default projects, and projects starting with openshift-
are the most essential to users. These projects host master components that run as pods and other infrastructure components. The pods created in these namespaces that have a critical pod annotation are considered critical, and the have guaranteed admission by kubelet. Pods created for master components in these namespaces are already marked as critical.
You cannot assign an SCC to pods created in one of the default namespaces: default
, kube-system
, kube-public
, openshift-node
, openshift-infra
, and openshift
. You cannot use these namespaces for running pods or services.
