Input from @bigkevmcd, I wonder if for the cross-namespace problem, we couldn’t do something like this |

Presumably the search tenant has no permissions to add a pipeline to the billing namespace right?
| A new custom resource definition `Pipeline` lets users define a pipeline for a specific application and its associated target environments in a central place. | ||
| Each pipeline is represented by a single resource consisting of an application reference and a list of all the environments in turn consisting of a list of the environments' targets. | ||
| The order of environments is mandated by each environment's position in that list. An application reference within a `Pipeline` resource consists of a kind and a name. | ||
| Together with the namespace declared in each target, the application is uniquely identified per-target. |

Has anything been changed here except for the line wrapping? It's hard to tell.

We should be more specific here as this RFC exclusively solves challenges in the context of pipelines, nothing else.

| ### Non-Goals | ||
|
|
||
| - We picture tenant as a static image but in reality,a tenant would evolve. this evolution is out scope. |

I'm not sure I understand what this is supposed to bring across. Does this RFC only apply to a specific model of tenant isolation?
| For the proposal we are going to use the following scenario. | ||
|
|
||
| **Organisations by Tenancy models** | ||
| We are going to define two organisation, each one with a different tenancy model. |

Moving to in progress to review it in the context of latest design decisions |
| **Organisations by Tenancy models** | ||
| We are going to define two organisation, each one with a different tenancy model. | ||
| - `shared-environments` where tenants are isolated at the level of the namespace. Each tenant owns a namespace within each environment/cluster. | ||
| - `dedicated-environments` where tenants are isolated at the level of the environment. Each tenant owns an entire cluster. |

We could use the names referenced here https://kubernetes.io/blog/2021/04/15/three-tenancy-models-for-kubernetes/. It may help particularly in any external documentation to be able to cross reference
