# 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
```bash
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
```bash
# 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

```
## How It Works
Parses your docker-compose.yml or description, understands the services and their relationships, then generates equivalent Kubernetes resources with proper configuration.
