The compose format has some limitations compared to the HCL format:
- Specifying variables or global scope attributes is not supported
- `inherits` service field is not supported, but you can use [YAML anchors](/reference/compose-file/fragments.md)
to reference other services, as demonstrated in the previous example with `&build-dev`.
