Knative: Run service on specific machine type

Question

I'd occasionally like to run a processing-heavy job on demand. Knative serving seemed like a good fit since it can scale from/to zero pods.

Is it possible to specify a node pool or node selector for a Knative service? Or is there some other way to ensure pods are created with specific machine types? I couldn't find anything in the docs.

I'm using GKE.

It isn't currently possible to specify a node pool/selector while using knative, nor a way to ensure pods are created with a predefined machine type on knative.

I encourage you to file this as a feature request.

Thanks! Is GKE the right issue tracker to add the feature request to? – Andreas Jansson Sep 07 '18 at 16:37

Unless they have a category for knative, put in under GKE. – Aldo Andrade Sep 07 '18 at 20:41

This has moved to this Knative issue, as the question doesn't seem to be GKE specific.
