There's a whole section on "Enabling portability with Knative" and even though I only skimmed the page, I got the message that this is an open standard just like Kubernetes.
As for running regular Docker/OCI containers, I would put more emphasis on how awesome this is for developers:
It's just regular HTTP in Docker containers. You can debug and develop this locally without mocking anything, and it's the same code that runs in production!
And it's all open source. No need to install a Lambda emulator that is almost, but not quite, like the real thing.
I never even considered using AWS Lambda due to the lock in and how annoying it is to work with, but this is something I'll evaluate (by trying it on my local k8s cluster).
