Here's a nice and free desktop app that will help you visualize and control your Kubernetes cluster(s). 🐳 I know how overwhelming managing a k8s cluster can be. You can get quickly lost in the command line. Here comes Lens, the IDE for Kubernetes. Link is in the reply 👇

I'm loving it! The best universal tool for Kubernetes. It is like finally having eyes in Kube world. Easy to spot divergencies from normal and then use different tools to deepdive.
