kompose: Convert a docker-compose file into Kubernetes resources file.
$ kompose convert -f ${docker-compose-yml}
try on your machine

The command kompose convert -f ${docker-compose-yml} is used to convert a Docker Compose file into a Kubernetes deployment configuration file.

Let's break down the command:

  • kompose is the Kompose tool, which is used to convert Docker Compose files to Kubernetes configurations.
  • convert is the specific command within Kompose that converts the Docker Compose file.
  • -f ${docker-compose-yml} is the flag used to specify the input Docker Compose file. The ${docker-compose-yml} is a placeholder for the actual file name or path. You need to replace it with the actual file or path to the Docker Compose file you want to convert.

By running this command, the Kompose tool will read the specified Docker Compose file, analyze its contents, and generate the equivalent Kubernetes deployment configuration files. These files can then be used to deploy and manage the application on a Kubernetes cluster.
