Knative abstracts Kubernetes complexity into a streamlined serverless platform for deploying and scaling event-driven containers.

Knative transforms a standard Kubernetes cluster into a high-velocity developer environment by managing the heavy lifting of traffic routing and autoscaling. It consists of two primary components: Serving and Eventing. Serving handles the request-driven model (including scaling to zero when idle and rapid spikes to 1,000+ pods), while Eventing creates a standardized ecosystem for consuming triggers from sources like Kafka, GitHub, or GCP Pub/Sub. By using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to define Services and Triggers, operators eliminate the manual toil of configuring LoadBalancers, Ingress rules, and HPA logic for every microservice.

### [Serverless Agentic Containers with Knative](https://paris.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_5uatxgNgVi0)

When your agent is done with its task you want him to scale back to 0 replicas and you want to wake him up with an Event Driven approach, all of this configured with 5 lines of YAML : This is what SAIL (Serverless AI Layer) is, the new Open Source framework based on Kubernetes and Knative ! During the demo we will deploy 3 agents using a super streamlined Custom Resource , kickoff the first agent with a Kafka message and see the magic happen with all the agents starting collaborating together, sharing context and memory. We wil show how all of this can run locally on your machine, leveraging Kubernetes with Docker and inferring using Docker Model Runner.
