The serverless.com framework is built around existing serverless/faas platforms and allows you to write vendor-agnostic functions and deploy them exchangeably. It does not provide the resources to run your code. it abstracts away different API of different vendors to make them seem as one.
Knative on the other hand provides building blocks to eventually build a serverless platform. It provides the resources necessary to run and scale your application.
In short: You could use the serverless.com framework to deploy applications/functions on knative. But you still need some layer actually running your workload, like knative.

This of course needs to be discussed in the broader OpenWhisk community first, but taking dewitt's answer here into perspective (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17604185) and also based on what IBM has put out in their statement a possible interaction could be to layer OpenWhisk's higher level abstractions and multi-tenancy features over the knative stack and use the latter as an "execution-engine".
In technical terms, OpenWhisk's invoker system could be replaced by knative, keeping the API/Controller bits stable to still support the notion of actions/triggers/rules/sequences/compositions you name it.

Even better! Knative will allow you to even scale your containers out-of-band if you know that something BIG will happen. See https://github.com/knative/serving/issues/1656 for the discussion.

Some of the attributes of serverless workloads will require changes deeper down in the stack (read Kubernetes). For instance constantly getting containers up or throwing them away at high rates stresses parts of Kubernetes more than its used to. I fully expect lots of requirements to make their way into Kubernetes itself.

If AWS EKS gives you access to kubectl or similar, it is probably trivial to setup. There shouldn't be any obvious roadblocks. Will be a great contribution to add to the guides!

Joining in, Markus from IBM and OpenWhisk. Been involved with knative for quite some time now as well.
Happy to answer any questions that might arise as well. Answers might be biased and opinions are my own.
