GitLab is developed for Linux-based operating systems.
It does **not** run on Microsoft Windows, and we have no plans to support it in the near future. For the latest development status view this [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/46567).

This config also embeds the same token defined in `KUBE_TOKEN` so you likely will only need this variable. This variable name is also automatically picked up by `kubectl` so you won't actually need to reference it explicitly if using `kubectl`. |

NOTE: **Note:**
If your cluster was created before GitLab 12.2, default `KUBE_NAMESPACE` will be set to `<project_name>-<project_id>`.
When deploying a custom namespace:
- The custom namespace must exist in your cluster.
- The project's deployment service account must have permission to deploy to the namespace.
-`KUBECONFIG` must be updated to use the custom namespace instead of the GitLab-provided default (this is [not automatic](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/31519)).
- If deploying with Auto DevOps, you must *also* override `KUBE_NAMESPACE` with the custom namespace.
CAUTION: **Caution:**
GitLab does not save custom namespaces in the database. So while deployments work with custom namespaces, GitLab's integration for already-deployed environments will not pick up the customized values. For example, [Deploy Boards](../deploy_boards.md) will not work as intended for those deployments. For more information, see the [related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/27630).
### Troubleshooting
Before the deployment jobs starts, GitLab creates the following specifically for
