name	k8s-gen
description	Generate Kubernetes manifests from docker-compose or descriptions. Use when deploying to K8s.

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

How It Works

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