= Configuring a default local queue

As a cluster administrator, you can improve quota enforcement in your cluster by managing all jobs in selected namespaces without needing to explicitly label each job. You can do this by creating a default local queue.

A default local queue serves as the local queue for newly created jobs that do not have the `kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name` label. After you create a default local queue, any new jobs created in the namespace without a `kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name` label automatically update to have the `kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name: default` label.

[IMPORTANT]
====
Preexisting jobs in a namespace are not affected when you create a default local queue. If jobs already exist in the namespace before you create the default local queue, you must label those jobs explicitly to assign them to a queue.

.Prerequisites

include::snippets/prereqs-snippet-yaml-1.1.adoc[]

* You have created a `ClusterQueue` object.

.Procedure

. Create a `LocalQueue` object named `default` as a YAML file:
+
.Example of a default `LocalQueue` object
[source,yaml]
----
apiVersion: kueue.x-k8s.io/v1beta2
kind: LocalQueue
metadata:
  namespace: team-namespace
  name: default
spec:
  clusterQueue: cluster-queue
----

. Apply the `LocalQueue` object by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc apply -f <filename>.yaml
----

.Verification

. Create a job in the same namespace as the default local queue.
. Observe that the job updates with the `kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name: default` label.
