Ditto - I would also be interested in a similar migration guide from docker-compose to k8s in DO.

check this out: https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose

You can actually go direct now: https://blog.docker.com/2018/12/simplifying-kubernetes-with-...

I'm a long time happy DO user, this is exciting. I've been managing multiple docker apps (using docker-compose) on DO for years. Is there a guide I can use to transition my apps from docker-compose to k8s? I've dabbled in k8s, but am not an expert at all. Any suggestions?

Check this out: https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose and this article may help: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/modernizing...

Ability to go direct from docker-compose to Kubernetes (I believe kompose just compiles into k8s config files) was recently announced: https://blog.docker.com/2018/12/simplifying-kubernetes-with-...

hi, yes no charges for the managed / master nodes. This is Shiv from DO (I head Products there).

Can you give some insight on whether the master nodes are tiered and if so, how they are tiered. My DO master node doesn't respond to commands as quickly as GKE's but I don't know if that's because it's dependent on the tier I chose for the nodes in the node pool.

Eddie from DigitalOcean here.

Master node tiering is something on our roadmap for the future and not currently implemented.

Kompose has been around for a little while, which essentially "compiles" your docker-compose.yml into K8S config files. However, Docker recently announced ability to deploy directly from docker-compose: https://blog.docker.com/2018/12/simplifying-kubernetes-with-...

My understanding is that you'll still need to do some work, especially if you are building via compose instead of pointing to an image on a registry.

DO's kubernetes release is an an example of why I am a big fan. As a sole developer, I can't afford high technical debt, but DO packages tech in a way I can manage. I hope they keep on and wish other services (here's looking at you AWS) would package their services as well.

Do I understand correctly that they provide the manager nodes for free?

Yes, this is the pricing model for everyone except EKS/AWS as I understand it. Manager nodes are bundled with whatever you spend on your worker nodes. Google has gone so far with GKE as to offer HA masters distributed across availability zones at no extra cost. (On the day that Amazon announced EKS general availability, if I remember correctly, which is priced at $250/mo base cost, before you even get around to spend…

Eddie from DigitalOcean here.

Just want to call out that our worker node pricing is the same as our Droplets (servers). There is no price markup on using our managed service. In fact it's cheaper than deploying it yourself on DO because you don't have to pay for the master node.

We have a big roadmap for 2019. Queues are interesting and so are functions in general. Nothing to share today but those are items we are assessing for future roadmaps :)

Is application hosting (heroku, app engine, elb) on the roadmap?

You could use Hephy Workflow (you might have heard of Deis Workflow?) on DOK8S to do that.

This is an open-source fork of Deis Workflow.

We're hoping to add support for Digital Ocean's Kubernetes and ancillary services like storage in the next release. Preliminary testing indicates that it is very much possible. The only dependencies of a prod Workflow deployment are, any compliant Kubernetes, Load Balancers, and an S3-api compatible storage, all of which are available on DO now.

The latest Hephy release does not yet support general S3-api compatibility with arbitrary S3 providers like DO, but DigitalOcean is our first target platform for expanding the supported offerings. The pull requests are open right now.

(Currently supported platforms include GCP/GKE, Amazon, and Azure AKS.)

Been a user of DOs beta kubernetes service and it works well. Though I would say the title of the linked article is a bit misleading. It is a Kubernetes as a service, like EKS, GKE and AKS. But not vanilla container service a la ECS, Fargate, the former Docker Cloud, etc.

Container Service as a Service

works in dev all the way down.
