Creating a Knative service

To create a service, you must create the service.yaml file.

You can copy the sample below. This sample will create a sample golang application called helloworld-go and allows you to specify the image for that application.

apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1 (1)
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: helloworld-go (2)
  namespace: default (3)
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - image: gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go (4)
          env:
            - name: TARGET (5)
              value: "Go Sample v1"

1. Current version of Knative

2. The name of the application

3. The namespace the application will use
