K8s Generator

Translating docker-compose to Kubernetes manifests is tedious YAML shuffling. Feed in your compose file and get proper K8s manifests back.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-k8s docker-compose.yml

What It Does

Converts docker-compose to Kubernetes manifests
Generates from plain English descriptions
Creates Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps
Handles secrets and persistent volumes

Usage Examples

# From docker-compose
npx ai-k8s docker-compose.yml --namespace production

# From description
npx ai-k8s "3 replicas of a node app with redis and postgres"

# Save output
npx ai-k8s docker-compose.yml -o k8s-manifests.yml

Best Practices

Use namespaces - organize your resources
Set resource limits - prevent runaway pods
Add health checks - liveness and readiness probes
Use secrets properly - don't hardcode credentials

When to Use This

Migrating from docker-compose to Kubernetes
Setting up new K8s deployments
Learning Kubernetes manifest structure
Quick prototyping before fine-tuning
