+Kubernetes contains several built-in tools to help you work with the Kubernetes system
+

+
+## Kubeadm

+[`kubeadm`](/docs/setup/independent/install-kubeadm/) is the command line tool for easily provisioning a secure Kubernetes cluster on top of physical or cloud servers or virtual machines (currently in alpha).
+
+## Kubefed

+to help you administrate your federated clusters.

+development and testing purposes.
+

+to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot them, and manage the cluster and its resources itself.

+Kubernetes resources, aka Kubernetes charts.

+
+* Translate a Docker Compose file into Kubernetes objects
+* Go from local Docker development to managing your application via Kubernetes
+* Convert v1 or v2 Docker Compose `yaml` files or [Distributed Application Bundles](https://docs.docker.com/compose/bundles/)
