What’s the difference between Docker Compose and Kubernetes?

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?
