+# Knative Services
+
+[Knative](https://knative.dev/) is a platform for running serverless workloads
+on Kubernetes. This guide will show you how to run basic Knative workloads in
+gVisor.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This guide assumes you have have a cluster that is capable of running gVisor
+workloads. This could be a
+[GKE Sandbox](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/sandbox/) enabled
+cluster on Google Cloud Platform or one you have set up yourself using
+[containerd Quick Start](https://gvisor.dev/docs/user_guide/containerd/quick_start/).
+
+This guide will also assume you have Knative installed using
+[Istio](https://istio.io/) as the network layer. You can follow the
+[Knative installation guide](https://knative.dev/docs/install/install-serving-with-yaml/)
+to install Knative.
+
+## Enable the RuntimeClass feature flag
+
+Knative allows the use of various parameters on Pods via
+[feature flags](https://knative.dev/docs/serving/feature-flags/). We will enable
+the
+[runtimeClassName](https://knative.dev/docs/serving/feature-flags/#kubernetes-runtime-class)
+feature flag to enable the use of the Kubernetes
+[Runtime Class](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/runtime-class/).
+
+Edit the feature flags ConfigMap.
+
+```bash
+kubectl edit configmap config-features -n knative-serving
+```
+
+Add the `kubernetes.podspec-runtimeclassname: enabled` to the `data` field. Once
+you are finished the ConfigMap will look something like this (minus all the
+system fields).
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+ name: config-features
+ namespace: knative-serving
+ labels:
+ serving.knative.dev/release: v0.22.0
+data:
+ kubernetes.podspec-runtimeclassname: enabled
+```
+
+## Deploy the Service
+
+After you have set the Runtime Class feature flag you can now create Knative
+services that specify a `runtimeClassName` in the spec.
+
+```bash
+cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
+apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
+kind: Service
+metadata:
+ name: helloworld-go
+spec:
+ template:
+ spec:
+ runtimeClassName: gvisor
+ containers:
+ - image: gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go
+ env:
+ - name: TARGET
+ value: "gVisor User"
+EOF
+```
+
+You can see the pods running and their Runtime Class.
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -o=custom-columns='NAME:.metadata.name,RUNTIME CLASS:.spec.runtimeClassName,STATUS:.status.phase'
+```
+
+Output should look something like the following. Note that your service might
+scale to zero. If you access it via it's URL you should get a new Pod.
+
+```
+NAME RUNTIME CLASS STATUS
+helloworld-go-00002-deployment-646c87b7f5-5v68s gvisor Running
+```
+
+Congrats! Your Knative service is now running in gVisor!
