Kubernetes complexity killer, Lens by Mirantis embedded AI assistant
Briefly

Lens by Mirantis features a production-grade AI assistant for troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters, using natural language. As an open-source IDE, it simplifies Kubernetes management through a user-friendly GUI. A new AWS integration allows seamless connections to EKS clusters across accounts without command-line setup. This streamlines access to cloud infrastructure and enhances operational workflows for managing distributed Kubernetes environments. Lens Prism, the AI assistant, is deeply integrated into Lens, providing context-specific insights and command generation for troubleshooting Kubernetes issues.
"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, Kaipiainen says that 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 such as: 'What's wrong with my pod?', 'How much CPU is this namespace using?', 'Is anything failing in my cluster?'
Prism responds with live 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.
