I use kubernetes for pushing stuff to AWS EKS, and it is great. The problem I found with minikube and other Kubernetes based "alternatives" to Docker Desktop (including podman) is that they are not compatible with Docker Compose. There are a * a lot * of "solved problems" via docker-compose.yml files, and all of my past companies have used it. I've tried some docker-compose to k8s migration tools, but the amount of crap files they generate was not feasible for me.

Nerdctl[1] (for containerd) works fine with docker-compose.yml for my purposes (which are not much). The only issue I encountered was with environment variable substitution not working the same as docker-compose, but I didn't look hard for a solution and edited my compose file

1. https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl mine came bundled with Rancher desktop, and 'nerdctl compose up' is all I've needed

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/deploy-applications-... When this came out it was a great day. It really made things a lot simpler to just get going with Fargate.

Have you tried Kompose? Is it generating the crap files you were not fond of?

Helm charts are roughly the k8s equivalent of docker compose. Might be a few years before they’re as widespread but a lot of common things you’d want to host are largely “solved” already.

Compose doesn't support the "depends_on" feature of docker-compose
