Knative Description
Knative was created by Google with contributions of over 50 companies. It provides the essential components for building and running serverless applications on Kubernetes. Knative provides features such as scale-to-zero and autoscaling. It also offers in-cluster builds and an eventing framework for Kubernetes-native applications. Knative identifies the best practices of Kubernetes-based frameworks that have been successful, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud. Knative allows developers to concentrate on writing code and not worry about the "boring, but difficult" aspects of building, deploying, managing, or maintaining their application.

Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFront (CDN) is a fast content delivery network that delivers data, videos, and APIs to customers worldwide with low latency and high transfer speeds. It's also a developer-friendly service. CloudFront integrates with AWS. CloudFront can be used in both physical locations that are directly connected with the AWS global infrastructure as well as other AWS services. CloudFront integrates seamlessly with AWS Shield, Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing, or Amazon EC2 as origins of your applications. Lambda@Edge allows you to run custom code closer and customize the user experience. Lastly, if your AWS origins include Amazon S3, Amazon EC2 and Elastic Load Balancing you don't have to pay for data transferred between CloudFront and these services.

Apache OpenWhisk
Apache OpenWhisk, an open-source distributed Serverless platform, executes functions (fx), in response to events at all scales. OpenWhisk handles the infrastructure, servers, and scaling via Docker containers. This allows you to focus on creating amazing and efficient apps. OpenWhisk supports a programming model that allows developers to write functional logic (called actions), in any supported programming languages. These actions can be dynamically scheduled and run in response (via Triggers), from external sources (Feeds), or from HTTP requests. The project also includes a REST API-based Command Line Interface, (CLI), and other tools to support packaging, catalog service, and many popular container deployment options. Apache OpenWhisk uses containers to build its components. This makes it easy to support many deployment options locally and within Cloud infrastructures. Many of the most popular Container frameworks are available.
