I will look at the following use cases for why you might want to do something like this: As the name implies, you can use this namespace to manage the network stack inside of a namespace. This article looks at the namespace I get asked about the most: the net namespace. The user namespace is most often used in combination with the other namespaces to provide a greater level of isolation than would otherwise be possible. There are obvious limitations regarding the tasks these namespaces can accommodate, as they do not have root on the host.

Among other things, this is useful for creating a namespace as an unprivileged user that can still be root in the namespace. The user namespace allows processes to run as specific users.Not only is this useful for creating and managing processes on a host, but it is also beneficial when creating Linux containers.
