Knative is an open-source platform that enables developers to deploy serverless applications on Kubernetes. The main components of Knative include:
Serving: This component manages the deployment of serverless workloads. It allows for automatic scaling based on traffic, and supports rolling updates and canary deployments. For example, a developer can deploy a new version of a service, and Knative Serving will manage the transition, ensuring minimal downtime.
Eventing: This component is responsible for handling events from various sources and routing them to the appropriate services. It supports multiple event sources and provides a way to subscribe to these events. For instance, when a new file is uploaded to a storage bucket, Eventing can trigger a function to process that file.
Build: This component automates the process of building container images from source code. It integrates with CI/CD pipelines and supports various build templates. For example, a developer can push new code to a repository, and Knative Build will automatically create a new container image.
Knative can be deployed on any Kubernetes cluster, and it leverages Kubernetes' capabilities for managing containerized applications. By using services like Tencent Cloud Kubernetes Engine (TKE), developers can easily set up and manage their Knative environments, taking advantage of Tencent Cloud's scalable and reliable infrastructure.
