Build, deploy and run cloud-native, serverless applications on Kubernetes
Overview
Bringing serverless workloads to Kubernetes
Knative, one of the newest and fastest growing open-source projects in the cloud-native landscape, extends Kubernetes with serverless capabilities and a simplified developer experience. It leverages the features of Kubernetes, but hides its complexities.
Features
Why choose Knative
Knative is built with the same patterns — controllers, API — kube-api, and infrastructure as Kubernetes. Install with one click.
Knative removes the underlying details and complexities of building, deploying and managing an application.
Adopt open source-first technologies to run your workloads anywhere, on any cloud and on any Kubernetes-supported infrastructure.
Use cases
How it works
- Unified platform
- Knative components
A unified container-application platform
Knative delivers an essential set of components, or primitives, that build on top of Kubernetes.
The platform abstracts the complex details of combining different application types: 12-factor applications, containers and functions.
Knative components
Two key primitives help you develop and manage the serverless applications in your Kubernetes cluster.
Serving
Serving provides scale-to-zero, request-driven compute functions — execution and scaling.
Eventing
Eventing provides delivery and subscription mechanisms to build event-driven applications.
