Kontena Lens Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Introduction to Helm: Comparison to its less-scary cousin APT

  Generally I felt as if I was diving in the deepest of waters without the correct equipement and that was horrifying. Unfortunately to me, I had to dive even deeper before getting equiped with tools like ArgoCD, and k8slens. I had to start working with... HELM. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• observing logs from Kubernetes pods without headaches

  Yes I know there is lens, but it does not allow me to see logs of multiple pods at same time and what is even more important it is not friendly for ephemeral clusters - in my case with help of kind I am recreating whole cluster each time from scratch. Source: 8 months ago

• Lazydocker

  I use Lens (https://k8slens.dev/) but it is dual licensed like VSCode. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Fastest way to set up an k8s environment ?

  You probably don't need Rancher unless you need a GUI or manage multiple clusters, Lens or k9s might be a better fit for your use case. Source: 11 months ago

• 'ekscli' vs. 'aws eks'

  `openlens` is now preferred over `Lens`, it has everything you need and none of the fluff that Lens wants to charge you for. Source: 11 months ago

• Easy UI for teams to control their namespace?

  Maybe Lens? I mean, you still need to explain them how to add cluster to context, and you need your RBAC properly setup, but the visual part is Lens. Source: 12 months ago

• Github CI/CD + Django

  If you like GUI for Kubernetes platform use Lens https://k8slens.dev/. Source: 12 months ago

• Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?

  I don't know any GUIs to create a cluster (well, except AWS console :P). For graphical managing existing cluster, Lens is kinda popular. I prefer k9s, but it's a TUI. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?

  You can use Lens which also offers a free license. I would also take a look at OpenLens. You stated that you were looking for something GUI-centric, but I would also take a look at k9s to help you dig deep into your cluster, quickly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Automated Building OpenLens - Sharing in case others find it useful

  My company runs many services through EKS (Kubernetes on AWS), and we've found that Lens is extremely valuable for debugging and managing our clusters. Source: about 1 year ago

• K8s cluster with OCI free-tier and Raspberry Pi4 (part 4)

  First thing installed is a beautiful dashboard - Lens. Install the desktop app on your PC, go to File > Add Cluster. You have to paste here all that you receive when running kubectl config view --minify --raw on server. Edit 127.0.0.1:6443 from that result with your server IP, in my case 10.20.30.1:6443. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Where to find ‘Pod disruption budget’ details?

  u/Amazing-Ad-2786 Basically said it. What I would add is that you either need to learn how to work with Kubernetes on the command line by learning `kubectl` commands, or perhaps what is simpler to use is an GUI for your Kubernetes. One I know people tend to recommend is Lens - https://k8slens.dev . With these tools you can check the status of your PDBs. Source: over 1 year ago

• WebAssembly: Docker Without Containers

  Hey, so I thought I remembered your username. This isn’t the first interaction we’ve had, or I’ve seen you have, that follows this similar pattern. In fact it’s the third example from you under this post! It’s not a particularly pleasant experience to discuss anything with you, as after you make a particularly vapid and usually ice-cold take that is rebuffed, you seem to just try to make snarky replies rather than... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What are some tools to install in Kubernetes that are interesting or must have?

  I would also recommend having a look at https://k8slens.dev/ as it lowers the friction for people new to k8s land. Source: over 1 year ago

• The checklist: Monitoring for Economy

  There are many ways you can see if instances are underutilized, using some open source tools such as k9s cli or Lens (if measuring the utilization of VMs which are part of Kubernetes clusters). Or the cloud providers console to see the memory and compute consumption of the provisioned VMs. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Why Kubernetes Is So Complex

  With some experience and a user interface like Lens, debugging becomes easier. And there are great monitoring solutions for production use. But this is still a big hurdle for beginners taking their first steps with Kubernetes. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Kotlin Spring WebFlux, R2DBC and Redisson microservice in k8s 👋✨💫

  As UI tool for working with k8s like use Lens . - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Go and ElasticSearch full-text search microservice in k8s👋✨💫

  For Kubernetes prefer to use minikube with helm, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Jaeger, Kibana used same images as docker-compose file has, and prometheus community chart, For correct working we have to add ServiceMonitor component for our microservice. Working with k8s personally like to use lens it has a friendly UI and many useful features. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Kubernetes Data Simplicity: Getting started with K8ssandra

  For a more visual way to obtain an overview of the resources and components in a Kubernetes cluster, consider using a free Kubernetes IDE like Lens. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• Looking for something like Lens but for Nomad

  When I interact with our Kubernetes clusters, I usually use Lens. I really like using Lens which is why I am asking, if any of you are aware of something similar but for Nomad (and potentially Consul). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Don't Use Kubernetes, Yet

  Thanks! Of course, things might change somewhat in the next years, we have seen both new tooling be developed and become viable, like Lens (https://k8slens.dev/) and some nice CLI tooling, like k9s (https://k9scli.io/), as well as numerous other options. Though I guess things won't change as much for Docker Swarm (which is feature complete and doesn't have much new stuff be developed for it) or Hashicorp Nomad... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
