A system is configured to run jobs in Kubernetes based on PBS job inputs. The system may convert a PBS input, such as in the form of a PBS job command line input and/or a PBS job script, to a Kubernetes job configuration file. A Kubernetes system may then perform a job according to the Kubernetes job configuration file. Through implementation of the conversion process, PBS users can leverage the capabilities of Kubernetes to have jobs performed without having to know how to use Kubernetes.
