Lens | The Kubernetes IDE

Lens is the only IDE you’ll ever need to take control of your Kubernetes clusters. It is a standalone application for MacOS, Windows and Linux operating systems. It is open source and free.

What makes Lens special?

Amazing usability and end user experience
Multi cluster management; Support for hundreds of clusters
Standalone application; No need to install anything in-cluster
Real-time cluster state visualization
Resource utilization charts and trends with history powered by built-in Prometheus
Terminal access to nodes and containers
Performance optimized to handle massive clusters (tested with a cluster running 25k pods)
Full support for Kubernetes RBAC

Installation

Download a pre-built package from the releases page. Lens can be also installed via snapcraft (Linux only).

Development

Prerequisities: Nodejs v12, make, yarn

make download-bins - downloads bundled binaries to dev environment
make dev - builds and starts the app
make test - run tests

Development (advanced)

Allows faster separately re-run some of involved processes:

yarn dev:main compiles electron's main process and watch files
yarn dev:renderer:vue compiles electron's renderer vue-part
yarn dev:renderer:react compiles electron's renderer react-part
yarn dev-run when all files compiled run this command to open the app

Alternatively to compile both render parts in single command use yarn dev:renderer
