第 9 章 Knative Serving

9.1. Using kn to complete Serving tasks

The Knative CLI (kn) extends the functionality of the oc or kubectl tools to enable interaction with Knative components on OpenShift Container Platform. kn allows developers to deploy and manage applications without editing YAML files directly.

9.1.1. Basic workflow using `kn`

The following basic workflow deploys a simple hello service that reads the environment variable RESPONSE and prints its output.

You can use this guide as a reference to perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on a service.

Procedure

Create a service in the default namespace from an image:

$ kn service create hello --image docker.io/openshift/hello-openshift --env RESPONSE="Hello Serverless!"

Creating service 'hello' in namespace 'default':

  0.085s The Route is still working to reflect the latest desired specification.
  0.101s Configuration "hello" is waiting for a Revision to become ready.
 11.590s ...
 11.650s Ingress has not yet been reconciled.
 11.726s Ready to serve.

Service 'hello' created with latest revision 'hello-gsdks-1' and URL:
http://hello-default.apps-crc.testing

List the service:

$ kn service list

NAME    URL                                     LATEST          AGE     CONDITIONS   READY   REASON
hello   http://hello-default.apps-crc.testing   hello-gsdks-1   8m35s   3 OK / 3     True

Check if the service is working by using the curl service endpoint command:
```
$ curl http://hello-default.apps-crc.testing
```
```
Hello Serverless!
```

Update the service:

$ kn service update hello --env RESPONSE="Hello OpenShift!"

Updating Service 'hello' in namespace 'default':

 10.136s Traffic is not yet migrated to the latest revision.
 10.175s Ingress has not yet been reconciled.
 10.348s Ready to serve.

Service 'hello' updated with latest revision 'hello-dghll-2' and URL:
http://hello-default.apps-crc.testing

The service’s environment variable RESPONSE is now set to "Hello OpenShift!".

Describe the service.

$ kn service describe hello

Name:       hello
Namespace:  default
Age:        13m
URL:        http://hello-default.apps-crc.testing

Revisions:
  100%  @latest (hello-dghll-2) [2] (1m)
        Image:  docker.io/openshift/hello-openshift (pinned to 5ea96b)

Conditions:
  OK TYPE                   AGE REASON
  ++ Ready                   1m
  ++ ConfigurationsReady     1m
  ++ RoutesReady             1m

Delete the service:

$ kn service delete hello

Service 'hello' successfully deleted in namespace 'default'.

Verify that the hello service is deleted by attempting to list it:
```
$ kn service list hello
```
```
No services found.
```

9.1.2. Autoscaling workflow using `kn`

You can access autoscaling capabilities by using kn to modify Knative services without editing YAML files directly.

Use the service create and service update commands with the appropriate flags to configure the autoscaling behavior.

Flag	Description
`--concurrency-limit int`	Hard limit of concurrent requests to be processed by a single replica.
`--concurrency-target int`	Recommendation for when to scale up based on the concurrent number of incoming requests. Defaults to `--concurrency-limit`.
`--max-scale int`	Maximum number of replicas.
`--min-scale int`	Minimum number of replicas.

9.1.3. Traffic splitting using `kn`

kn helps you control which revisions get routed traffic on your Knative service.

Knative service allows for traffic mapping, which is the mapping of revisions of the service to an allocated portion of traffic. It offers the option to create unique URLs for particular revisions and has the ability to assign traffic to the latest revision.

With every update to the configuration of the service, a new revision is created with the service route pointing all the traffic to the latest ready revision by default.

You can change this behavior by defining which revision gets a portion of the traffic.

Procedure

Use the kn service update command with the --traffic flag to update the traffic.

注意

--traffic RevisionName=Percent uses the following syntax:

The --traffic flag requires two values separated by separated by an equals sign (=).
The RevisionName string refers to the name of the revision.
Percent integer denotes the traffic portion assigned to the revision.
Use identifier @latest for the RevisionName to refer to the latest ready revision of the service. You can use this identifier only once with the --traffic flag.
If the service update command updates the configuration values for the service along with traffic flags, the @latest reference will point to the created revision to which the updates are applied.
--traffic flag can be specified multiple times and is valid only if the sum of the Percent values in all flags totals 100.

注意

For example, to route 10% of traffic to your new revision before putting all traffic on, use the following command:

$ kn service update svc --traffic @latest=10 --traffic svc-vwxyz=90

9.1.3.1. Assigning tag revisions

A tag in a traffic block of service creates a custom URL, which points to a referenced revision. A user can define a unique tag for an available revision of a service which creates a custom URL by using the format http(s)://TAG-SERVICE.DOMAIN.

A given tag must be unique to its traffic block of the service. kn supports assigning and unassigning custom tags for revisions of services as part of the kn service update command.

注意

If you have assigned a tag to a particular revision, a user can reference the revision by its tag in the --traffic flag as --traffic Tag=Percent.

Procedure

Use the following command:

$ kn service update svc --tag @latest=candidate --tag svc-vwxyz=current

注意

--tag RevisionName=Tag uses the following syntax:

--tag flag requires two values separated by a =.
RevisionName string refers to name of the Revision.
Tag string denotes the custom tag to be given for this Revision.
Use the identifier @latest for the RevisionName to refer to the latest ready revision of the service. You can use this identifier only once with the --tag flag.
If the service update command is updating the configuration values for the Service (along with tag flags), @latest reference will be pointed to the created Revision after applying the update.
--tag flag can be specified multiple times.
--tag flag may assign different tags to the same revision.

9.1.3.2. Unassigning tag revisions

Tags assigned to revisions in a traffic block can be unassigned. Unassigning tags removes the custom URLs.

注意

If a revision is untagged and it is assigned 0% of the traffic, it is removed from the traffic block entirely.

Procedure

A user can unassign the tags for revisions using the kn service update command:
```
$ kn service update svc --untag candidate
```

注意

--untag Tag uses the following syntax:

The --untag flag requires one value.
The tag string denotes the unique tag in the traffic block of the service which needs to be unassigned. This also removes the respective custom URL.
The --untag flag can be specified multiple times.

9.1.3.3. Traffic flag operation precedence

All traffic-related flags can be specified using a single kn service update command. kn defines the precedence of these flags. The order of the flags specified when using the command is not taken into account.

The precedence of the flags as they are evaluated by kn are:

--untag: All the referenced revisions with this flag are removed from the traffic block.
--tag: Revisions are tagged as specified in the traffic block.
--traffic: The referenced revisions are assigned a portion of the traffic split.

9.1.3.4. Traffic splitting flags

kn supports traffic operations on the traffic block of a service as part of the kn service update command.

The following table displays a summary of traffic splitting flags, value formats, and the operation the flag performs. The "Repetition" column denotes whether repeating the particular value of flag is allowed in a kn service update command.

Flag	Value(s)	Operation	Repetition
`--traffic`	`RevisionName=Percent`	Gives `Percent` traffic to `RevisionName`	Yes
`--traffic`	`Tag=Percent`	Gives `Percent` traffic to the Revision having `Tag`	Yes
`--traffic`	`@latest=Percent`	Gives `Percent` traffic to the latest ready Revision	No
`--tag`	`RevisionName=Tag`	Gives `Tag` to `RevisionName`	Yes
`--tag`	`@latest=Tag`	Gives `Tag` to the latest ready Revision	No
`--untag`	`Tag`	Removes `Tag` from Revision	Yes
