Knative

• Serverless Workloads: Enables deployment of serverless applications on Kubernetes, abstracting away infrastructure management.

• Event-Driven Architecture: Supports event-driven programming models for reactive and scalable applications.

• Auto-scaling: Automatically scales workloads based on incoming traffic or events, including scaling down to zero.

• Build and Serving Components: Automates container image builds and manages deployment, scaling, and network routing of serverless applications.

Before learning Knative, it's beneficial to have the following skills:

1. Kubernetes: Strong understanding of Kubernetes fundamentals, including pods, deployments, services, networking, and resource management.

2. Containerization: Familiarity with container technologies such as Docker, including building, managing, and optimizing containerized applications.

3. Cloud Native Concepts: Knowledge of cloud-native principles and architectures, including microservices, service meshes, and container orchestration.

4. Programming Languages: Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in cloud-native environments, such as Python, Go, Java, or Node.js.

By learning Knative, you gain the following skills:

1. Serverless Application Deployment: Ability to deploy serverless applications on Kubernetes, leveraging Knative's build, serving, and eventing components.

2. Auto-scaling: Skills in configuring and managing auto-scaling of serverless workloads based on incoming traffic or events, optimizing resource utilization.

3. Event-Driven Architecture: Understanding of event-driven programming models and implementing reactive applications that respond to events in real-time.

4. Container Orchestration: Proficiency in integrating Knative with Kubernetes for container orchestration, including managing pods, services, and deployments.
