What s the difference between Docker Compose and Kubernetes

Question

While diving into Docker, Google Cloud and Kubernetes, and without clearly understanding all three of them yet, it seems to me these products are overlapping, yet they're not compatible.

For example, a docker-compose.yml file needs to be re-written so an app can be deployed to Kubernetes.

Could someone provide a high-level, rough description of where Docker, Docker Compose, Docker Cloud, and Kubernetes overlap and where one is dependent on the other?

Containers- Containers are at the core of the other technologies mentioned here.

Docker- Popular implementation of the technology that allows applications to be bundled into a container 

docker is a command line tool to manage images, containers, volumes and images. 

Docker Compose- 

•  It is the declarative version of the docker cli. 
• it can start one or more containers 
• it can create one or more networks and attach containers to them.
• All of this for use on a single host.
