Compose to Kubernetes: Caveats, interoperability and transformations

Presenters: Charlie Drage (Red Hat)

Session Type: Lightning Talk (5min)

Topics: Containers & Virtualization, Image formats & standards, Kompose, Docker Compose, Podman and Podman Desktop

Session Details:

This presentation will cover the 1-1 translations from Docker Compose to Kubernetes as well as the difficulties and the caveats.

We will cover:

• The pitfalls going from Compose to Kubernetes / stuff that does not translate
• How we get around said pitfalls with labels / asking the user
• How projects such as Skaffold use Kompose
• How future projects such as Podman and Podman Desktop hope to achieve in converting from Compose to Kubernetes.
