​​Businesses are modernizing and adopting multi-cloud approaches to deliver services. This shift in application deployment has given rise to containerization and Kubernetes for the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. 

This course introduces you to serverless computing and shows you how to build serverless applications using Knative. It teaches CI/CD using Tekton and shows you how to build pipelines triggered by GitHub events. You will create a pipeline that builds container images using Build and, later, Cloud Native Buildpacks. 

In the last part of the course, you will build a web application that integrates with GitHub using a GitHub App, and triggers application build and deployment in response to GitHub events.

Building a Serverless App Platform on Kubernetes

# Summary
Kubernetes has become a standard tool for managing container workloads. Many companies rely on it to build and scale cloud-native applications, which power many of the products and services we use today. Although companies are adopting Kubernetes and reaping some of the benefits, developers aren’t interested in the low-level details of Kubernetes. They, therefore, want to focus on their code without worrying about the infrastructure bits running the application. Knative makes deploying, updating, autoscaling, and composing event-driven software easy. 

You can learn more about Knative and the `kn` CLI at [Knative dev](https://knative.dev/docs/).

Let's go over the main topics we covered in this chapter and test our knowledge.
