Is it possible to deploy ECK to a different k8 namespace.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/1.1/k8s-deploy-eck.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/1.1/k8s-deploy-eck.html)

`kubectl apply -f https://download.elastic.co/downloads/eck/1.1.2/all-in-one.yaml`

So i would like to specify what k8 namespace ECK stack is deployed to

Hey @Kay_Khan, we're working on [a tool](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/tree/master/hack/manifest-gen) to make that possible, but unfortunately it is not released yet, and there's no version compatible with release `1.1.2`.

Do you want to have ECK manage resources across all namespaces and just modify the namespace ECK is deployed in?

I suggest you download then modify the content of [https://download.elastic.co/downloads/eck/1.1.2/all-in-one.yaml](https://download.elastic.co/downloads/eck/1.1.2/all-in-one.yaml) to suit your needs, before applying the modified file.

In that file you can look for mentions of the `elastic-system` namespace, and replace it with your own namespace.

The namespace in which Elasticsearch, Kibana, etc. resources are deployed can be specified in their manifest directly:

```auto
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
  name: quickstart
  namespace: my-namespace
spec:
  version: 7.8.0
  nodeSets:
  - name: default
    count: 1

```
