Serving¶

Release Notes

💫 New Features & Changes¶

Adds a autoscaling.knative.dev/activation-scale annotation that allows the user to set a minimum number of replicas when not scaled to zero. Note that the initial target scale for a revision is still handled by initial-scale; activation-scale will only apply on subsequent scales from zero. #13161

Readiness probes no longer fail if the user container is restarted (due to a liveness probe failure). #13229
