Knative provides operators as tools to install, configure and manage Knative. This guide explains how to install and
uninstall Knative using Knative operators.
Each component in Knative has a separate operator for installation and configuration. This means that there is a [Serving operator](https://github.com/knative/serving-operator)
and an [Eventing operator](https://github.com/knative/eventing-operator), and you can choose to install one or both independently.
Knative provides an [operator](https://github.com/knative-sandbox/operator) as a tool to install, configure and manage Knative. The Knative operator leverages custom objects
in the cluster to define and manage the installed Knative software. This guide explains how to install and uninstall
Knative using Knative operator.
## Before you begin
Knative installation using Operators requires the following:
Knative installation using the Operator requires the following:
- A Kubernetes cluster v1.15 or newer, as well as a compatible kubectl. This guide assumes that you've already created
a Kubernetes cluster. If you have only one node for your cluster, set CPUs to at least 6, Memory to at least 6.0 GB,
Disk storage to at least 30 GB. If you have multiple nodes for your cluster, set CPUs to at least 2, Memory to at least
4.0 GB, Disk storage to at least 20 GB for each node.
- The Kubernetes cluster must be able to access the internet, since Knative operators download images online.
- The Kubernetes cluster must be able to access the internet, since the Knative operator downloads images online.
- Istio:
- [Download and install Istio](https://knative.dev/development/install/installing-istio/#downloading-istio-and-installing-crds). Go through all the 4 sub-steps.
- [Update your Istio to use cluster local gateway](https://knative.dev/development/install/installing-istio/#updating-your-install-to-use-cluster-local-gateway).
## Limitations of Knative Operators:
## Limitations of Knative Operator:
Knative Operators use custom resources (CRs) to configure your Knative deployment.
Knative Operator is still in Alpha phase. It has not been tested in a production environment, and should be used
for development or test purposes only.
- Currently, the CRs included with Knative Operators do not provide high availability (HA) capabilities.
- Knative Operators have not been tested in a production environment, and should be used for development or test purposes only.
