+# Workflows
+
+The purpose of this section of the Kn documentation is to list common workflows or use-cases for the Knative CLI. This is a live document, meant to be updated as we learn more about good ways to use `kn`.
+
+## Basic
+
+In this basic worflow we show the CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on a service. We use a well known [simple Hello World service](https://github.com/knative/docs/tree/master/docs/serving/samples/hello-world/helloworld-go) that reads the environment variable `TARGET` and prints it as output.
+
+* Create a service from image in `default` namespace
+
+```bash
+$ kn service create hello --image gcr.io/knative-samples/helloworld-go --env TARGET=Knative
+```
+
+* Curl service endpoint
+
+```bash
+curl '-sS' '-H' 'Host: hello.default.example.com' 'http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx   '
+Hello Knative!
+```
+
+Where `http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx` is your Knative installation ingress.
+
+* List service
+
+```bash
+$ kn service list
+$ hello
+```
+
+* Update service
+
+```bash
+$ kn service update hello --env TARGET=Kn
+```
+
+The service's environment variable `TARGET` is now set to `Kn`
+
+<!-- TODO: include when `service get` is merged
+* Get service
+
+```bash
+$ kn service get hello
+#TODO ouput
+```
+
+TODO: observation(s) if any
+-->
+
+* Describe service
+
+```bash
+$ kn service describe hello

+  observedGeneration: 2
+  traffic:
+  - configurationName: hello
+    percent: 100
+    revisionName: hello-00001
+```
+
+* Delete service
+
+```bash
+$ kn service delete hello
+$ Deleted 'hello' in 'default' namespace.
+```
+
+You can then issue the same `$ kn service list` command to verify that the service was deleted.
