How to rename a project

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • OpenShift Enterprise
    • 3.x

Issue

  • I want to rename my project name. How can I do?

Resolution

  • There is no way to change the actual name of the project or namespace. In fact, you can't rename the resource in openshift or kubernetes.
  • One can modify the display name and the description of the project to indicate its status. 
# oc edit project myproject
. . .
      openshift.io/display-name: "rename-me"
. . .
  • You may also be able to export all the resources from ProjectA and create them in ProjectB.
