It was March 2020 when we open sourced Lens — the Kubernetes IDE. The highlight of this new release is the Extensions API that will allow extension authors to plug-in directly to the Lens UI, add visualizations and functionality, and integrate with technologies and services around Kubernetes. With the help of extensions, Lens becomes the easiest and best way to consume any technologies in the cloud native ecosystem.

With today’s 4.0 release, we want to take the next step and extend Lens from being the go-to IDE for working with Kubernetes primitives, to become a system to harness the full spectrum of cloud native technologies.

To support the development of Lens Extensions, we have opened a Lens documentation site with instructions on how to get started and a full API reference.
