Create Namespaces
There are two types of namespaces that are relevant for microsegmentation.
- Cloud account namespaces
- Group level namespaces
The following tasks show how to create these types of namespaces.
Create Cloud Account Namespaces
Use cloud account namespaces to identify:
- AWS Cloud Accounts
- Azure Subscriptions
- GCP projects
- Data centers
- To create a cloud-account-level namespace, go to theNamespacepage underNetwork Security > Microseg.Ensure that you are on the root for your tenant-level namespace.
- Click on the+ signbutton to create a new cloud account level namespace.
- Enter the name for the namespace underNamespace Name.
- Select theImplicit Default Action. Set it toallowat first to enable child namespaces to inherit this action.
- Leave OrganizationalTags and Additional Tag Prefixesunchanged unless a Prisma Cloud specialist explicitly instructs you otherwise.Cloud account namespaces are automatically created for cloud accounts onboarded on Prisma Cloud.
Create Group Level Namespaces
Use group namespaces to identify:
- Virtual Machine (VM) or server-based applications
- Kubernetes or Openshift clusters
- To create a group level namespace, go to theNamespacepage underNetwork Security > Microseg.Ensure that you are on the proper cloud-account-level namespace
- Click on the+ signbutton to create a new group level namespace.
- Enter the name for the namespace underNamespace Name.
- Select theImplicit Default Action. Set it toallowto make sure the namespace default action is permissive. If you set it toinheritit receives theImplicit actionfrom the parent namespace.
- Leave OrganizationalTags and Additional Tag Prefixesunchanged unless a Prisma Cloud specialist explicitly instructs you otherwise.
