About:
The Knative CLI (kn) is a powerful command-line tool designed to interact with Knative Serving and Eventing resources on Kubernetes. It provides a developer-friendly interface for deploying serverless applications, managing event sources, and administering Knative components without writing complex YAML manifests.
Key Features:
  • Streamlined resource management for Knative Serving and Eventing
  • Traffic splitting and revision management for safe deployments
  • Plugin architecture for extending functionality
  • Human-readable output and simplified syntax
Use Cases:
  • Deploying and managing serverless applications on Kubernetes
  • Configuring event-driven architectures and triggers
  • Automating Knative workflows in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • kubectl – Standard kubectl requires verbose YAML definitions, while kn offers Knative-specific shortcuts and abstractions
  • knctl – Legacy tool that has been superseded by the official kn CLI
