Kubernetes is a powerful tool for managing containers, but it can be difficult to use just with the Kubectl CLI.

With Kubernetes lens, you can easily visualize and understand your cluster’s workloads in real-time.

You can also quickly diagnose problems with the help of our built-in diagnostic tools. It’s like having an expert right there on your computer!

With this tool, you can see all of your pods and services at once and quickly diagnose problems.

You’ll also have access to logs from every container in the cluster so you can pinpoint errors faster.

Now, here is the best part! It comes with an inbuilt terminal to run commands!

If you want to get more done with less effort, then you need a Kubernetes lens.

Best of all, it’s free!
