Nodeless Knative: Just-in-Time All the Way - Madhuri Yechuri, Elotl

Serverless paradigm of just-in-time event-driven applications that are alive only when needed reduces operational complexity of application management and enables pay-as-you-go model for cloud-native deployments. Knative has brought the stability and portability of Kubernetes foundation to Serverless applications. But what about compute backing Knative Kubernetes clusters? Nodeless Kubernetes models like virtual-kubelet, kip, Karpenter, and Autopilot offer just-in-time compute for Kubernetes clusters. Nodeless is the yang to the yin of Knative! This talk explores just-in-time architecture all the way from top to bottom - Serverless applications running on Knative running on Nodeless Kubernetes. You will learn how to set up your just-in-time stack, suggested best practices, and lessons learnt from existing deployments. You will also learn how to benchmark just-in-time stack versus traditional Knative stack running on regular Kubernetes.
