A namespace is a virtual cluster. You can have a single physical cluster that contains multiple virtual clusters segregated by namespaces. Each virtual cluster is totally isolated from the other virtual clusters, and they can only communicate through public interfaces. Note that node objects and persistent volumes don't live in a namespace. Kubernetes may schedule pods from different namespaces to run on the same node. Likewise, pods from different namespaces can use the same persistent storage.
When using namespaces, you have to consider network policies and resource quotas to ensure proper access and distribution of the physical cluster resources.
