kompose is a conversion tool that translates Docker Compose files into Kubernetes resource manifests. It parses `docker-compose.yml` definitions and generates corresponding Deployments, Services, PersistentVolumeClaims, and other Kubernetes objects, providing a migration path for applications originally designed to run with Docker Compose.
The tool supports multiple output formats including standard Kubernetes YAML, JSON, and Helm charts. It can also deploy converted resources directly to a cluster with `kompose up` or tear them down with `kompose down`. As a CNCF sandbox project, kompose handles common Compose directives such as port mappings, volumes, environment variables, and replica counts, though some Compose-specific features may require manual adjustment after conversion.
