Kubernetes equivalent for docker compose configuration of logging ( fluentd )

Question

I am using hybrid approach where in for few services I am using simple docker compose approach and for others I am using kubernetes for deployment. For both approaches I want to keep my centralized logging same ( fluentd ). Here is my docker compose file ,

version: "2.1"
services:
  inventory:
    image: SOME_SERVICE
    container_name: SOME_SERVICE
    network_mode: "host"
    expose:
      - "80"
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    mem_limit: 2000m
    oom_kill_disable: true
    logging: &logging <<-- This Part
      driver: fluentd
      options:
       fluentd-address: IP:PORT
       tag: "server.{{.Name}}" 

I want convert this logging part to the equivalent kubernetes configuration. How can I do this ?

There are no options to control logging in a Pod spec. Instead, you need a cluster-wide log collector. Logging Architecture in the Kubernetes documentation describes the setup. As a programmer this isn't something you control, you'll have to ask your cluster administrator or your local DevOps team to configure it for you.
