  # Create a service with multiple environment variables
  kn service create mysvc --env KEY1=VALUE1 --env KEY2=VALUE2 --image dev.local/ns/image:latest

  # Create or replace a service 's1' with image dev.local/ns/image:v2 using --force flag
  # if service 's1' doesn't exist, it's just a normal create operation
  kn service create --force s1 --image dev.local/ns/image:v2

  # Create or replace environment variables of service 's1' using --force flag
  kn service create --force s1 --env KEY1=NEW_VALUE1 --env NEW_KEY2=NEW_VALUE2 --image dev.local/ns/image:v1

  # Create service 'mysvc' with port 80
  kn service create mysvc --port 80 --image dev.local/ns/image:latest

  # Create or replace default resources of a service 's1' using --force flag
  # (earlier configured resource requests and limits will be replaced with default)
  # (earlier configured environment variables will be cleared too if any)
  kn service create --force s1 --image dev.local/ns/image:v1
