Hi Team,

I have a docker-compose file that need to convert to run as a K8s cluster. Could you please help in this scenario.

Thanks  
Srinivas

Thanks for your reply. I have a K8s cluster up and running in my local system with the set of prerequisites installed successfully, however I am new to kompose, if you could provide any kind of URL’s to configure the YML to kompose.

To be honest, I’ve never used it. But the use case is exactly that: cinver docker-compose to kubernetes deployments and services.

Here is the readme: [https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose/blob/master/README.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose/blob/master/README.md)

Let us know if it’s useful for you!

Happy Friday,

Thanks for the information. I will try to install kompose and let you know if any difficulties.

Thanks
