What is Kubernetes Lens? Tutorial & Alternatives

Lens is a popular Kubernetes management tool that provides a feature-filled graphical interface, allowing users to interact with their clusters visually instead of relying on obscure CLI commands. Developed by Mirantis, it supports monitoring, deployment, and management scenarios in a clean user interface that features multi-cluster capabilities. Lens is free for personal use and individuals with annual revenue below $10m, but a Pro license is required for large-scale business use. It offers an IDE-like experience for Kubernetes developers and administrators, making it easier to control clusters without learning console commands.
