The `kn` client emerged as the developer-facing command surface for that ecosystem; GitHub release data shows Knative Client v0.1.0 published on 2019-05-18. The client documentation describes `kn` as an interface for Knative Services and Event Sources, including higher-level operations such as autoscaling and traffic splitting. The repository README also documents support for Serving resources, growing Eventing support, plugin architecture, and use from scripts or Tekton tasks. ### Historique d'adoption The client tracks Knative's own maturation. Knative 1.0 was announced in 2021 with over 600 contributors and described Knative as the most widely installed serverless layer on Kubernetes. CNCF accepted Knative as an incubating project on 2022-03-02 and later listed it as graduated on 2025-09-11, which strengthened `kn` as the default CLI interface for a vendor-neutral cloud-native project. ### Modes d'utilisation Users run `kn` to create services, list and inspect resources, split traffic between revisions, work with Eventing sources and triggers, and script Knative workflows. Its documented configuration uses `~/.config/kn/config.yaml` on Unix systems, while cluster credentials usually come from Kubernetes kubeconfig handling such as `~/.kube/config` or `KUBECONFIG`. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent `kn` matters because it packages a complex Kubernetes CRD ecosystem into a small Go CLI. For package maintainers, it is part of the broader pattern where cloud-native projects ship a narrowly scoped binary that wraps Kubernetes APIs while still relying on kubeconfig and shell completion conventions users already know. ### Chronologie - 2018-07: Google released Knative, later described by Knative 1.0 materials as developed with VMware, IBM, Red Hat, and SAP. - 2019-05-18: Knative Client v0.1.0 published on GitHub. - 2020-10-07: Knative Client v0.18.0 released with additional Eventing support. - 2021: Knative 1.0 announced as a production-readiness milestone with over 600 contributors. - 2022-03-02: CNCF accepted Knative as an incubating project. - 2025-09-11: CNCF project page lists Knative as moving to graduated maturity. ### Related projects - `kn` is related to Knative Serving, Knative Eventing, Kubernetes, kubectl plugin conventions, Tekton, CloudEvents, and distribution-specific serverless platforms such as OpenShift Serverless. ### Sources - - - - - - - ## Notes de sécurité narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Risque Geiger:** vert / faible - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
