# Viewing and selecting the current Kubernetes context
With Podman Desktop, you can view and select your current Kubernetes context.
With Podman Desktop, you can view and select your current Kubernetes context to access:
- The Kubernetes cluster you want to interact with
- The namespace where you define your application resources
Based on your configurations, Podman Desktop automatically populates the context list. For example, if you have created a Minikube, Kind, or Developer Sandbox cluster, a respective Kubernetes context is automatically added in the Podman Desktop application. Then, you can easily switch from one context to another if needed.
:::note
When you select a Kubernetes context, you can access all the namespaces associated with it. However, you cannot switch from one namespace to another using the Podman Desktop UI. As an alternative, you can use this command: `kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=<name-of-the-namespace>`.
