**Note**  
Namespaces are an Amazon Cloud Map resource. Namespaces are necessary in Amazon ECS to use the ECS Service Connect or ECS service discovery features. Amazon ECS requests namespaces from Amazon Cloud Map and then displays your namespaces in the Amazon Web Services Management Console. Use the Amazon Cloud Map console or API for additional configuration options.
