Validate the installation of the KubeSlice Controller by checking the pods that belong to the kubeslice-controller namespace using the following command:

kubectl get pods -n kubeslice-controller

Expected Output

NAME                                            READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
kubeslice-controller-manager-64c9d599d6-qjst4   2/2   Running       0          14s

Create a Project YAML File

Create a project.yaml file for the project namespace.

      - <readonly user3>
    readWrite:
      - <readwrite user1>
      - <readwrite user2>
      - <readwrite user3>

Apply the Project YAML File
