Knative serving is Google's managed and fully supported Knative
offering. Knative serving abstracts away the complexity of Kubernetes, making it
easy to build and deploy your serverless workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud
environments.
Accessing Knative serving
The Knative serving button is located under Kubernetes Engine > Applications.
All of your Knative serving services are listed on this page.
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Knative serving page.
Knative serving is now available as a separate experience from the managed
Cloud Run product. The new Knative serving page supports only your
Knative serving services. Any of your services for the managed
Cloud Run product continue to be available from the
Cloud Run page in the
Google Cloud console.
Cluster requirements
The prerequisites for Knative serving have changed to require that you must
first create and configure your GKE clusters. You are no longer able to
create clusters from within the Knative serving page in the
Google Cloud console.
For more information about supported clusters and configuration requirements,
see GKE clusters.
Note that Cloud Service Mesh will be
the recommended and fully supported service mesh for your Knative serving
services. Cloud Service Mesh requires that your clusters use a machine type
that has at least 4 vCPUs, such as e2-standard-4. If you need to
change your cluster's machine type, see
Migrating workloads to different machine types.
