This image https://kserve.github.io/website/0.11/images/kserve_layer.png says: KNative + Istio (Serverless Layer- Optional) Is this in fact the case, and if so are the deployment examples? |

The Kubernetes Deployment (aka RawDeployment) is the installation that won't require KNative nor Istio: https://kserve.github.io/website/master/admin/kubernetes_deployment/ |

That is my confusion. According to the link you provided, it says to install Istio. |

There is a note mentioning that Istio is being used just as an ingress controller. If you have some other ingress controller, you can skip Istio installation and set the AFAIK, in RawDeployment mode, KServe will create an standard Ingress resource using the configured ingressClassName. It shouldn't create any Istio-specific resource. I guess Istio is mentioned only because it is the controller used for testing. But as long as you have something that reconciles standard Kubernetes Ingress resources, you should be fine. |
