Question: knative serving support

[polothy]

Unsure if this question even makes sense, but would flagger be able to apply its canary magic to knative serving CRD? Maybe too much going on there since knative uses different autoscaling logic I think. Just curious if both could be used together or really should just stick with flagger and Istio/k8s features.

Really amazing project, love the feature set and how it rolls things out. We might try experimenting with it soon! Thanks!

Hi @polothy

I think Flagger could be integrated with Knative serving, it's not trivial work, but in theory it could be done. I don't know if it makes sense, since Knative has its own deployment strategy based on versioning.

My focus right now is to make Flagger work with different deployment patterns, like canaries with progressive traffic, A/B testing with session affinity and blue/green with e2e testing. Some of those deployment strategies are not suitable for FaaS.

If you try Flagger, please let me know how it went. Thanks!

Yeah, it may not be a great fit, they are doing their own thing and it's probably risky trying to layer so many projects.

I like the priorities you mentioned!

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
