Lens Desktop

Lens is the Kubernetes IDE engineers keep open all day. It turns clusters into something you can see and work with directly, rather than something you interrogate one kubectl command at a time - and it does that across every cluster you run, whether that is Amazon EKS, another cloud, on-premises, or a cluster on your own machine.

Amazon EKS clusters are discovered automatically and connect with a single sign-in. There are no kubeconfigs to assemble by hand and no context switching to answer a simple question: one Lens, all your clusters, in the same window.

See what is actually happening. Real-time logs from a single pod or a whole deployment. Live metrics from metrics-server or Prometheus. A contextual event feed that updates without a refresh. Drill from a workload into the resources it depends on, including the custom resources your own applications define, and read the whole picture in one place.

The built-in terminal is cluster-aware and opens with kubectl already pointed at the right context, so the drop into a shell costs nothing. If you deploy with Flux or Argo CD, reconciliation is visible as it happens rather than after the fact.

Lens Ask AI brings Claude, GitHub Copilot, Gemini or Codex into the same window with live cluster context. Ask why a pod is restarting, have logs, events and metrics analysed together, or summarise a resource - in plain English, without switching tools or pasting cluster state somewhere else.

Lens runs on the engineer's own machine against standard kubeconfigs and enforces the RBAC you already have. There are no privileged agents to install in your clusters and no elevated access to grant. Each person sees exactly what their own credentials allow, which is what makes it straightforward to put in front of a whole engineering organization.

Around all of that, Enterprise gives you the administration an organization needs. Connect your identity provider over SAML or OIDC and give your organization its own login URL. Provision and deprovision through SCIM 2.0 with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or any SCIM-capable directory, so joiners and leavers are handled by the directory rather than by hand. Verify the domains you own and have new engineers land in the right organization automatically. Assign seats, see which are in use, reclaim them when people move on, and choose which capabilities are turned on across the organization.

Purchases are billed through AWS Marketplace and appear on your AWS bill, with no separate vendor onboarding or payment terms to negotiate. Subscriptions are annual, and seat counts are managed on your AWS Marketplace subscription. Lens Desktop brings your Kubernetes resources to your fingertips, allowing you to drill down into every detail. Whether it's inspecting the status of your Pods and Deployments, or understanding custom resources added by your applications, Lens Desktop Pro provides an exhaustive and detailed perspective.

Got a plethora of Kubernetes clusters? No worries. Lens Desktop allows you to switch between different clusters with ease, effectively simplifying cluster context management. And, you can easily share your Kubernetes clusters with your team without compromising on security, thanks to built-in safe sharing features.

Through its intuitive graphical interface, Lens Desktop aids in effectively managing your applications, monitoring their status, and troubleshooting issues as they occur. The inherent complexity of Kubernetes fades away, replaced by a clear, organized, and interactive view of your Kubernetes environment.
