I'm currently using docker-compose.yaml configurations on two different machines, and I'm curious about what Kubernetes (K8s) could do for me. Specifically, would a K8s setup, like k3s, let me use a graphical interface to change config files that manage the deployment of containers and pods across nodes? Would my existing docker-compose.yaml code transition to config files on the K8s control machine? I'm trying to grasp the differences before diving in.

You might want to check out what Kubernetes really offers first. In simple terms, it's a more complex, clustered version of Docker that comes with added benefits like auto-scaling and self-healing capabilities. But with that complexity, you also have to learn a lot more than just the basics of containers and services. If you're really looking for an easy-to-use interface, something like Portainer might be a better fit than jumping straight into Kubernetes.
Just imagine managing a setup with 100 nodes using K8s! The learning curve might be steeper initially, but the scalability and control you get could be worth it for bigger projects.
Kubernetes could definitely be good for your resume! Installing k3s is a great way to learn the basics and see how it works in action.
