This post makes the case for serverless computing as the future of cloud computing, emphasizing its environmental and cost benefits. It uses Knative on Kubernetes as a concrete example of how serverless achieves these benefits through automated scaling down to zero pods when demand is low, and scaling up as demand increases. The post details the mechanism of how Knative's activator and autoscaler work to manage requests and metrics, and discusses how this model improves cloud efficiency for both users and providers. It also briefly mentions the potential for suspending worker nodes to further reduce energy consumption.
