I ditched Docker for Podman

I find that kubernetes yaml are a lot more complex than docker compose. And while I do, no, not everybody uses kubernetes.

Having an LLM function as a translation layer from docker compose to k8s yaml works really well.

On another note, podman can generate k8s yaml for you, which is a nice touch and easy way to transition.

Use an LLM is not a solution. It's effectively telling you to switch your brain off and hope nothing goes wrong in the future. In reality things do go wrong and any conversation should be done with a good understanding of the system involved.

While I agree with this concept, I don't think it is applicable here. Docker compose files and k8s yaml are basically just two different syntaxes, saying the same thing. Translating from one syntax to another is one of the best use cases for an LLM in my opinion. Like anything else you should read it and understand it after the machine has done the busy work.
