Cloud Agnostic

The Compose Specification works to utilize any cloud infrastructure or services you use - there is no vendor lock in.

Go from scripting a single container on your local machine to running cloud native in the simplest and most logical format possible.

Complements Your Existing Tools

The Compose Specification works with other tools such as Helm charts and Kubernetes YAML to make your user experiences simpler and portable.
