Here's a scenario:

You have been provided an application you need to deploy on your new production Kubernetes infrastructure, but it is only available as a Docker image and associated Compose files. Your IT team has limited Kubernetes experience, but does have Docker experience. Running via orchestration is a key requirement for such a critical application.
With Portainer, your IT team is able to deploy the provided Docker image via the Compose files onto their test Docker environments quickly and easily, where the app and config were able to be tested fully. The team are then able to deploy the application using the same Compose files onto the production Kubernetes environment also managed in Portainer, using the same intuitive interface they are familiar with from their test environments. This results in a quick testing to live turnaround for the app, without the time and cost investment in Kubernetes-specific training for the IT team.
