Any institution or work group at the University of Münster can request a Kubernetes project.

To request a new project, please fill out the [request form](/forms/kubernetes-project-application). In the form, you describe your project, define access policies, and specify the required resource quotas. This is also where you can request the `hardened_default` [security profile](security_policies.md#security-profile) for the project's namespace.

Within the approved quotas, resources can be created and managed as needed. The requested quotas may and should include some additional capacity for testing purposes.

### Submission

After completing the form, send the request by email to [kubernetes@uni-muenster.de](mailto:kubernetes@uni-muenster.de) using your university email account.

You may either:

- submit the form directly, or
- download the generated `.yaml` file and attach it manually to your email.

Please digitally sign the email using your personal university certificate.

If you do not yet have a personal certificate, instructions for requesting and using one can be found [here](https://www.uni-muenster.de/CA/de/howto-mail.shtml).

### Note for Outlook Users

Microsoft Outlook may use the outdated `SHA1` hashing algorithm for digital signatures by default. Since `SHA1` is considered insecure by modern cryptographic libraries, such signatures will be rejected by our ticket system.

If you use Outlook, please ensure that a modern hashing algorithm such as `SHA256` is configured for your digital signature.

Step-by-step instructions can be found in [these instructions](https://www.uni-muenster.de/CA/en/howto-setup-exchange.shtml). Search for the keywords `Hashalgorithmus` or `hash algorithm`.

### Processing Time

Processing the request may take up to one week.
