3. cloud-nuke

   2 38 2,991 8.7 Go

   A tool for cleaning up your cloud accounts by nuking (deleting) all resources within it

   

   Most people hesitate to use cloud hosted offerings for development. First of all, most providers have a generous free tier for devs, which can get you started. Secondly I recommend using tools like cloudnuke to avoid paying for cloud resources you're not using.

4. kompose

   3 56 10,064 7.4 Go

   Convert Compose to Kubernetes

   

   Lastly if you're already using Docker Compose, then use Kompose to help transition to the Kubernetes way of doing things. I would also recommend investigating some of the emerging dev support tools like Devspace, Skaffold or Tilt.
