Move2Kube

Move2Kube is a command-line tool that accelerates the process of re-platforming to Kubernetes/Openshift. It does so by analyzing the environment and source artifacts, and asking guidance from the user when required. It allows customizations to enable generating the directory structure and artifacts in the format required for your project.
