## Using an existing installation of Knative
NOTE: **Note:**
The "invocations" monitoring feature of GitLab serverless will not work when adding an existing installation of Knative.
It is also possible to use GitLab Serverless with an existing Kubernetes cluster which already has Knative installed.
Simply follow the steps to [add an existing Kubernetes cluster](../index.md#adding-an-existing-kubernetes-cluster)
and then follow the steps to deploy [functions](#deploying-functions) or [serverless applications](#deploying-serverless-applications) onto your cluster.
