Provision projects in advance

Provision workspace projects in advance, rather than relying on automatic provisioning, to control namespace naming and apply custom resource quotas. Repeat the procedure for each user.

Before you begin

You have an active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See This page is not included, but the link has been rewritten to point to the nearest parent document.Getting started with the CLI.

Procedure

Disable automatic namespace provisioning on the CheCluster level:
```
devEnvironments:
  defaultNamespace:
    autoProvision: false
```

Create the <project_name> project for <username> user with the following labels and annotations:

kind: Namespace
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: <project_name>
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: che.eclipse.org
    app.kubernetes.io/component: workspaces-namespace
  annotations:
    che.eclipse.org/username: <username>

where:

<project_name>: A project name of your choosing.
<username>: The username of the OpenShift Dev Spaces user.

Results

Verify that the project was created with the correct labels:
```
$ oc get namespace <project_name> --show-labels
```
