 ### Service Management
 
-A Knative service is the embodiment of a serverless workload. Generally in the form of a collection of containers running in a group of pods in the underlying Kubernetes cluster. Each Knative service associates with a collection of revisions which represents the evolution of that service.

 ### Revision Management
 
-A Knative revision is a "snapshot" of the specification of a service. For instance, when a Knative service is created with environment variable `FOO=bar` a revision is added to the service. When later the environment variable is changed to `baz` or additional variables are added, a new revision is created. When the image the service is running is changed to a new digest, a new revision is created.
