Industry’s First Embedded AI Assistant for Kubernetes Streamlines Operations and Accelerates Decision-Making

Lens Prism delivers context-aware AI, plus simple AWS integration

Lens by Mirantis announced the availability of Lens Prism, the first fully-integrated, production-grade artificial intelligence (AI) assistant embedded directly within the Lens integrated development environment (IDE). It enables natural language for troubleshooting and operating Kubernetes clusters.

“Lens Prism removes friction from day-to-day Kubernetes operations while maintaining enterprise-grade security and control.”

Also, a new One-Click Amazon Web Services (AWS) Integration enables users to instantly discover and connect to EKS clusters across accounts and regions without command-line setup or credential management. This streamlines access to cloud infrastructure, simplifies operational workflows, and turns Lens into a centralized platform for managing distributed Kubernetes environments with greater speed and control.

“We’re addressing the number one complaint of Kubernetes, which is complexity,” said Miska Kaipiainen, head of product for Lens at Mirantis. “Lens Prism puts the power of a site reliability engineer (SRE) inside every developer’s IDE. It removes friction from day-to-day Kubernetes operations while maintaining enterprise-grade security and control.”

Unlike browser-based chatbots or generic copilots, Lens Prism is deeply integrated into Lens Desktop and scoped to the user’s active context—current cluster, namespace, workloads, and RBAC permissions. Users can ask questions like:

• “What’s wrong with my pod?”
• “How much CPU is this namespace using?”
• “Is anything failing in my cluster?”

Prism responds with live, actionable insights based on real-time kubectl output, metrics, and logs, and generates ready-to-run commands to help users understand, verify, and resolve issues confidently.

Lens Prism operates within role-based access control (RBAC) permissions and runs entirely within the user’s existing kubeconfig. Together, Lens Prism and One-Click AWS Integration empower teams to solve issues faster, operate securely across environments, and scale Kubernetes management without added complexity or overhead.

More than 1 million Kubernetes users rely on Lens to increase their productivity. Lens is a desktop application that lowers the barrier of entry for those just getting started with Kubernetes and radically improves productivity for people with more experience. The most popular and advanced Kubernetes IDE in the world, Lens empowers users to easily manage, develop, debug, monitor, and troubleshoot Kubernetes and workloads across multiple clusters in real-time, supporting any certified Kubernetes distribution on any infrastructure. Lens has an intuitive graphical user interface and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Lens Prism and One-Click AWS integration are available today in all Lens Premium plans (Plus, Pro, and Enterprise) at no additional cost.
