Description
> Within a [namespace](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces), only one object of a given kind can have a given name at a time.
The term `kind` above should be replaced by `type`. At least if I read it correctly according to the terminology:
> - A _resource type_ is the name used in the URL (pods, namespaces, services)
> - All resource types have a concrete representation (their object schema) which is called a _kind_
