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.

IBM, a founder and contributor to Knative, recently announced managed Knative support for the IBM Cloud® Kubernetes Service offering, a managed add-on that integrates Knative and Istio into the cluster with one-click installation through the user interface (UI).

Benefits

• **Deploy natively to Kubernetes: **Knative is built with the same patterns — controllers, API — kube-api, and infrastructure as Kubernetes. Install with one click.
• **Focus on the code: **Knative removes the underlying details and complexities of building, deploying and managing an application.
• **Gain flexibility and control: **Adopt open source-first technologies to run your workloads anywhere, on any cloud and on any Kubernetes-supported infrastructure.
