The latest release of Lens, the integrated development environment (IDE) for Kubernetes, is out, the first since the open source project found a new backer with Mirantis. Most notably, the update enhances the way Lens manages Kubernetes cluster access using kubeconfig files and additional smart terminal configuration options.

Without using agents on the clusters themselves, its built-in terminal gives access to kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool, as well as integration with Prometheus for visualizing monitoring statistics.

So then actually, we decided to take out all the dependencies to our own flavor of Kubernetes.

Basically what we have been trying to do with the with Lens is package all the essence of Kubernetes technologies and tools, integrating them [to] really streamline the Kubernetes developer activities like deploy, run, manage, debug, inspect, observe,” Kaipiainen said.
