A Supervisor Cluster namespace is a combination of resource allocations and permissions set within the Supervisor Cluster. When you create a Supervisor Namespace, you’ll assign who has access to use it, and how many of the ESXi cluster’s resources you can use (much like a resource pool).

When you enabled the Workload Management components, you created a special Kubernetes cluster called the “Supervisor Cluster”. You can continue to deploy virtual machines in this cluster, and you can also deploy kubernetes pods as a “pod vm” which is basically a container with some special wrapping so they are better isolated, like a virtual machine is.
