Often, production deploys of Pachyderm involve deploying Pachyderm to a non-default namespace. This helps administrators of the cluster more easily manage Pachyderm components alongside other things that might be running inside of Kubernetes (DataDog, TensorFlow Serving, etc.).

• To deploy Pachyderm to a non-default namespace, you need to add the -n or --namespace flag when deploying. If the namespace does not already exist, you can have Helm create it with --create-namespace.

  helm install <args> --namespace pachyderm --create-namespace

  

• To talk to your Pachyderm cluster:

  • You can either modify an existing pachctl context

    pachctl config update context --namespace pachyderm

    

  • or import one from Kubernetes:
