Program Overview: What is Serverless on Kubernetes with Knative?
Serverless on Kubernetes with Knative is Edstellar's instructor-led program for platform engineers and Kubernetes operators. It covers Knative foundations, Knative Serving deployments, autoscaling and traffic management, event-driven pipelines with Eventing, plus security, observability, and cost control. Your platform team learns to run serverless workloads on the Kubernetes you already operate.
Over 26 hours, instructor-led sessions alternate with guided labs on live Kubernetes clusters. Your trainer demonstrates Serving and Eventing configurations, coaches learners through autoscaling exercises, and reviews every deployment manifest with the group. You debug scale-to-zero behavior and traffic splits on real workloads, learning to read autoscaler decisions in the metrics. Everything culminates in the capstone: a production serverless application running on Knative in a cluster you built yourself.
Kubernetes clusters waste money idling, and bolting serverless patterns onto them without the right tooling creates fragile custom plumbing. This program teaches your team to let Knative handle scale-to-zero and traffic management while you keep the Kubernetes control you need. You get serverless economics on infrastructure you already trust.
The capstone application is the strongest possible internal pitch for Knative: a serverless service running on your own cluster with autoscaling policies, canary traffic splits, event-driven pipelines, and cost dashboards showing the idle-time savings. When platform leadership asks why Knative instead of managed functions, your engineers answer with a working cluster, not a slide deck.
Six modules and 26 hours: Knative architecture and setup, Serving deployments, autoscaling and traffic management, Eventing pipelines, security and cost optimization, and a capstone serverless application. Labs run on Kubernetes clusters with instructor coaching, and content adapts to your stack and use cases.

Teams that Benefit from this Serverless on Kubernetes with Knative Group Training
This group training is built for platform and cloud teams running containerized workloads who want serverless speed on Kubernetes. Content adapts to each cohort's roles, stack, and experience, so every batch practices the workflows it owns, from cluster setup to production rollout.
Run serverless workloads on Kubernetes with confidence.
Platform engineers install and operate Knative, standardize service and eventing patterns, and keep autoscaling and cost under control across clusters.
Workflow friction
- Inconsistent serverless patterns across teams
- Autoscaling tuned by guesswork, not data
- Event wiring rebuilt for every service
How the program helps
- Standard Knative install and operating playbook
- Data-driven autoscaling and traffic policies
- Reusable eventing patterns for every team
Practice use cases
- Knative install labs
- Autoscaling tuning drills
- Event pipeline builds
Ship services faster with Knative Serving.
Developers deploy versioned services, manage traffic across revisions, and connect event-driven workflows, practicing production release patterns in every lab.
Workflow friction
- Slow manual deploy and release cycles
- Risky all-at-once production releases
- Brittle glue code between services
How the program helps
- One-command versioned deployments
- Safe canary and blue-green releases
- Event-driven integration without glue code
Practice use cases
- Service deploy labs
- Traffic splitting drills
- Revision rollback practice
Keep serverless reliable, observable, and cost-aware.
DevOps and SRE teams add security controls, observability, and cost guardrails to Knative workloads, and validate every change against production criteria.
Workflow friction
- Blind spots in serverless observability
- Security reviews slowing down releases
- Surprise spend from idle workloads
How the program helps
- Dashboards and alerts for every service
- Security controls baked into delivery
- Scale-to-zero cost discipline
Practice use cases
- Observability wiring labs
- Security hardening drills
- Cost review exercises
Move legacy workloads to serverless on Kubernetes.
Modernization teams decompose monoliths into event-driven services on Knative, practicing strangler patterns and incremental migration in guided labs.
Workflow friction
- Monoliths that resist incremental change
- Tight coupling between components
- Migration risk without a safety net
How the program helps
- Incremental strangler-pattern migrations
- Event-driven decoupling in practice
- Rollback-safe modernization steps
Practice use cases
- Decomposition labs
- Migration dry runs
- Event modeling sessions
Cohorts train as a cross-functional workforce, with each small group aligned on shared deployment and eventing standards.
Prerequisites: This program benefits platform engineers, DevOps and SRE teams, and cloud-native developers who run or plan to run workloads on Kubernetes. Basic Kubernetes and container familiarity helps but is not required, and no prior Knative experience is needed; the program adapts to each cohort's tools and context.

Operate Knative Workloads With Tested Scaling, Routing, and Event Behavior
Edstellar connects Knative capabilities with the operational decisions behind serverless workloads on Kubernetes. Participants deploy revisions, adjust scaling, route events, and examine security, observability, and cost. An integrated application is reviewed for predictable behavior, useful operational evidence, and a clear explanation of rollout and recovery choices.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore Kubernetes and container familiarity, workload characteristics, and operational challenges to identify support needed for Knative Serving, Eventing, autoscaling, and traffic management.
- Step 02
Plan
Knative setup leads into versioned services, scaling and traffic, event pipelines, and operational controls before an end-to-end serverless application and review.
- Step 03
Align
Cloud-native platform expertise supports engineers, SRE teams, and developers, matching explanations to their Kubernetes knowledge and responsibilities for workload operation.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample services and traffic patterns reproduce relevant revision, scaling, and event scenarios without changing operational clusters or using confidential application messages.
- Step 05
Execute
Teams deploy revisions, roll back faults, configure event flows, and review observability, receiving feedback on traffic behavior, scaling decisions, and cost assumptions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the application for coherent serving and event behavior, demonstrated revision recovery, useful monitoring evidence, and justified security and scaling choices.
