  title: Knative Serving Configurations API
  description: The Knative Serving API extends the Kubernetes API with custom resources for deploying and managing serverless workloads. The four core resources — Service, Route, Configuration, and Revision — enable automatic scaling including scale-to-zero, traffic splitting between revisions, and progressive rollouts. Service is the top-level resource that automatically manages Routes and Configurations. All resources are served through the Kubernetes API server under the serving.knative.dev API group.
