Traffic splitting using the Knative CLI

Using the Knative (kn) CLI to create traffic splits provides a more streamlined and intuitive user interface over modifying YAML files directly. You can use the kn service update command to split traffic between revisions of a service.

Creating a traffic split by using the Knative CLI

Prerequisites

  • The OpenShift Serverless Operator and Knative Serving are installed on your cluster.

  • You have installed the Knative (kn) CLI.

  • You have created a Knative service.

Procedure

  • Specify the revision of your service and what percentage of traffic you want to route to it by using the --traffic tag with a standard kn service update command:

    Example command
    $ kn service update <service_name> --traffic <revision>=<percentage>

    Where:

    • <service_name> is the name of the Knative service that you are configuring traffic routing for.

    • <revision> is the revision that you want to configure to receive a percentage of traffic. You can either specify the name of the revision, or a tag that you assigned to the revision by using the --tag flag.

    • <percentage> is the percentage of traffic that you want to send to the specified revision.

  • Optional: The --traffic flag can be specified multiple times in one command. For example, if you have a revision tagged as @latest and a revision named stable, you can specify the percentage of traffic that you want to split to each revision as follows:

    Example command
    $ kn service update example-service --traffic @latest=20,stable=80

    If you have multiple revisions and do not specify the percentage of traffic that should be split to the last revision, the --traffic flag can calculate this automatically. For example, if you have a third revision named example, and you use the following command:

    Example command
    $ kn service update example-service --traffic @latest=10,stable=60

    The remaining 30% of traffic is split to the example revision, even though it was not specified.
