Custom kubernetes namespace for kurtosis engine

[0x416e746f6e]

Background & motivation

We want to use kurtosis in k8s cluster, shared across multiple developers. For this we want to use isolated namespaces per team/use-case so that we could manage the respective resources separately.

However, presently kurtosis would generate the namespace name for k8s automatically and use pattern
kurtosis-engine-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, which makes it impossible to tell by the namespace name which is which.

At the same time, it would fail if it detects more than one engine running in a particular cluster, which makes it impossible to even use more than 1 namespace to begin with.

Desired behaviour

It would be great if the namespace to use would be configurable with a CLI parameter. The present behaviour could stay as-is for the default (no CLI provided) cases.

Also, if kurtosis would detect more than 1 running engine (in more than 1 namespace), it could fail with a message to specify the desired engine via CLI.

How important is this to you?

Painful; the lack of this feature makes using Kurtosis frictionful.

What area of the product does this pertain to?

CLI: the Command Line Interface
