Ever wondered if there's a wizarding tool capable of transmuting your Docker-compose configurations into Kubernetes manifests? Well, Ka-pow! Meet Kompose. Its magic lies in performing this exact transformation. You can find more about this incantation at http://kompose.io/.
The Summoning of Kompose
The path to brings Kompose into being varies across different operating systems, but fret not, it's straightforward and can be done with a simple curl command:
# Linux
$ curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose/releases/download/v0.5.0/kompose-linux-amd64 -o kompose
# macOS
$ curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose/releases/download/v0.5.0/kompose-darwin-amd64 -o kompose
# Windows
$ curl -L https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose/releases/download/v0.5.0/kompose-windows-amd64.exe -o kompose.exe
# Zap it into your PATH
$ chmod +x kompose
$ sudo mv ./kompose /usr/local/bin/kompose
How to Conjure With Kompose
Here’s an example of how you can convert a docker-compose.yaml configuration to Kubernetes syntax:
With a simple incantation of "kompose up", Kompose magically creates Kubernetes Deployments, Services, and PersistentVolumeClaims for your Dockerized application:
$ kompose up
We are going to create Kubernetes Deployments, Services and PersistentVolumeClaims for your Dockerized application.
If you need different kind of resources, use the 'kompose convert' and 'kubectl create -f' commands instead.
INFO Successfully created Service: redis
INFO Successfully created Service: web
INFO Successfully created Deployment: redis
INFO Successfully created Deployment: web
Your application has been deployed to Kubernetes. You can run 'kubectl get deployment,svc,pods,pvc' for details.
kompose convert
But what if you need a different type of resources? No worries, Kompose has got you covered. The "kompose convert" command allows you to convert your Docker-compose configuration into Kubernetes friendly API objects:
$ kompose convert
INFO file "frontend-service.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-master-service.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-slave-service.yaml" created
INFO file "frontend-deployment.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-master-deployment.yaml" created
INFO file "redis-slave-deployment.yaml" created
So, in a nutshell, Kompose is an incredibly handy tool enabling the transformation of Docker-compose files into Kubernetes' language. Whether you need to scale a method or streamline deployment processes, Kompose is a powerful ally in the cloud orchestra.
