# kubox plane compile

Turn a PlaneDeployment into the documents that build it

### Synopsis

Reads one PlaneDeployment and prints what it compiles to, without
touching anything.

The point is that it can be READ before it is applied. The cluster
document a plane is built from carries decisions that are invisible when
they are wrong -- on-demand instances, the ECR credential provider, the
three-part gateway name -- and each of those is a comment in a
hand-written file today, which means each can be lost by somebody writing
the next one from scratch.

```
kubox plane compile [flags]
```

### Options

```
  -f, --file string              the PlaneDeployment to compile
  -h, --help                     help for compile
      --output-document string   which surface to print: summary, cluster, or install (default "summary")
```
