You still need a Kubernetes cluster running though, right?

Yes ... from the install guide : "To get started with Knative, you need a Kubernetes cluster."

This is what I am trying to figure out too. Is Knative standalone, or is it running inside your K8 cluster, or do you build a K8 cluster and run this in it exclusively?

Knative installs into a Kubernetes cluster. Knative as it stands is not multi-tenant, so if you need to isolate workloads, you will need distinct Kubernetes clusters.

I think it's mostly pods on your k8 cluster ... see the link to the install guide above

It has software, yes, that of course runs in pods, but ..

It's a whole lot of infrastructure to support a PaaS / FaaS workflow. From building and routing/serving/tracing to complex event driven stuff.

It's fully k8s native (hence the name, I reckon), and it uses CRDs. Which is basically k8s's DSL for describing anything. Basically a k8s-standard for k8s plugins with schema, validation, schema change management, kubectl support, etc.
