Editing Kubernetes namespaces

Kubernetes starts with four initial namespaces: <ref>https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces/</ref>
* <code>default</code> is the default namespace for objects with no other namespace.
* <code>[[kube-system]]</code> for objects created by the Kubernetes system.
* <code>[[kube-public]]</code> is created automatically and is readable by all users (including those not authenticated). This namespace is mostly reserved for cluster usage, in case that some resources should be visible and readable publicly throughout the whole cluster. The public aspect of this namespace is only a convention, not a requirement.
* <code>[[kube-node-lease]]</code> holds [[lease objects]] associated with each node. Node leases allow the <code>[[kubelet]]</code> to send [[heartbeats]] so that the control plane can detect node failure.

Other typical namespaces: <code>[[Kubernetes monitoring|monitoring]], [[cluster-autoscaler]]</code>
