I think the default is "files-off-disk" image serving (hence NFS, etc). This can be replaced by S3 storage, with the URLs remaining the same (or maybe redirected, if you don't want…

I suspect distributed NFS won't help here when the problem is that a server gets slow / overloaded. In particular, this setup was actually I/O bound and there wasn't more I/O to be…

Pivotal is also on the steering committee. Representation is based on contributions to the project, and Google has publicly stated that they look forward to not being a majority on…

It depends on the language you're using and how you manage your dependencies. If you're using Java, see this writeup for how different frameworks can affect startup time: https://m…

Serverless means that you as a developer don't have to manage servers. There's still real computers behind the "serverless". Knative calls the role of the person providing the serv…

I think Knative (and the scale to zero in particular) are best suited for request/response or event-delivery workloads. So you wouldn't want to run (for example) memcache or mysql …

One of the items that's not present at the moment (and dewitt can probably provide additional color) is the top-level developer shell which puts the pieces together with a minimal …

That looks more like GKE or AKS.

How big is your Kubernetes cluster?

"eventing" is building an ecosystem to make it easy to connect events to event consumers (whether they are Knative Services, k8s services, VMs, or even a SaaS). In order to do this…

This is a way to deploy and manage a stateless web application ("function") without needing to get into a bunch of low-level details, and get closer to pay-for-what-you-use.
