The Knative Serving Operator is a Kubernetes-native tool that automates the installation, configuration, and management of Knative Serving, a platform for building and deploying serverless applications and functions on Kubernetes. It utilizes Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to define the desired state of Knative Serving components, and the operator ensures that the actual state matches the desired state.

• **Kubernetes Custom Resources:** Employs familiar Kubernetes manifests to configure and manage Knative Serving deployments.
• **Simplified Installation and Upgrades:** Automates the installation and upgrade processes of Knative Serving, reducing manual effort and potential errors.
• **Lifecycle Management:** Handles the lifecycle of Knative Serving components, including deployments, updates, and scaling.
• **Customization:** Supports customization of Knative Serving installations through configuration options in the `KnativeServing` CRD.
• **Network Layer Configuration:** Allows configuration of the network layer (e.g., Istio, Kourier) for Knative Serving.
• **Domain Mapping:** Simplifies the mapping of custom domains to Knative Serving services.

• **Streamlined Knative Serving Deployment:** Simplifies the complex process of installing and configuring Knative Serving.
• **Reduced Operational Overhead:** Automates Knative Serving management tasks, freeing up your team to focus on developing and deploying serverless applications.
• **Improved Consistency:** Ensures consistent and repeatable Knative Serving deployments across different environments.
• **Open Source:** The Knative Serving Operator is an open-source project under the Apache 2.0 License.

• **Installation:** Install the Knative Serving Operator using Helm or by applying the necessary manifests directly to your Kubernetes cluster.
• **Configuration:** Create a `KnativeServing` CR to define the desired state of your Knative Serving installation.
• **Deployment:** The Knative Serving Operator will automatically install and configure Knative Serving based on your `KnativeServing` CR.
