    Container Compute Service:Deploy Knative

    Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

    Knative is an open-source serverless framework based on Kubernetes. It supports features such as request-driven autoscaling, scaling down to zero instances during inactivity, version management, and canary releases. ACS Knative is fully compatible with community Knative and provides a one-click deployment feature, eliminating the need to purchase resources and build the system yourself. You can deploy Knative and enable a Knative ingress through the console's graphical user interface (GUI).

    Prerequisites

    You have created an ACS cluster.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the ACS console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.

    2. On the Clusters page, click the name of the target cluster. In the left navigation pane, choose Applications > Knative.

    3. On the Add-ons tab, click Deploy Knative, select the Knative Gateway to install, and then click Deploy.

      For more information about how to choose a Knative ingress, see Select a Knative ingress.

      ALB

      Provides fully managed ALB Ingress capabilities and a powerful traffic management method built on Application Load Balancer (ALB). It handles complex business routing, automatically discovers certificates, and supports the HTTP, HTTPS, and QUIC protocols.

      Note

      You must select at least two VSwitches when using ALB Ingress. For information about the regions and zones that support ALB, see Regions and zones that support ALB.

      ASM

      Alibaba Cloud Service Mesh (ASM) is a fully managed service mesh platform that is compatible with the open-source Istio service mesh. ASM simplifies service governance, including traffic routing and splitting for inter-service calls, authentication for service communication, and mesh observability. This significantly reduces development and operations overhead.

      Kourier

      Kourier is a Knative community ingress that provides basic service routing capabilities. The Kourier component is deployed in your cluster and requires manual maintenance.

      After the deployment completes, you can click Go to Components to view component information, or click Go to Services to view Knative application information.
