Integrations#

The Integrations page in Lens Desktop provides a centralized place to manage all your external connections, including Kubernetes cloud environments and AI providers, from a single view.

Navigate to Preferences > Integrations to access this page.

  • Cloud environments

    Connect AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and local kubeconfig clusters.

  • AI providers

    Configure LLM providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, or Azure to power Lens Prism.

  • Onboarding wizard

    Set up cloud environments and AI providers during first launch.

Page layout#

The Integrations page is organized into two sections:

Kubernetes Environments#

Manage how Lens discovers and connects to your Kubernetes clusters.

Connector Description
AWS EKS Automatically discover and connect to clusters across your AWS accounts
Azure AKS Automatically discover and connect to clusters across your Azure subscriptions
Local Kubeconfigs Watch kubeconfig files and folders on your local filesystem

AI & Intelligence Integrations#

Configure LLM providers that power Lens Prism, your Kubernetes AI assistant.

Connector Description
Providers Connect LLM providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, or Lens (research preview) to power Lens Prism

How connectors work#

Each connector on the Integrations page follows the same pattern:

  1. Status indicator. Shows "Connected" or "Not Connected" with a count of active connections.
  2. Expandable table. Click the status to expand or collapse the list of connected items. The expand state and sorting preferences persist across sessions.
  3. Action buttons. Add new connections or configure existing ones.
  4. Row menu. Manage individual connections from the three-dot menu on each row.

Tip

Collapse connectors you are not actively configuring. Lens remembers which sections you left open.

Subscription gating#

Some connectors require a specific Lens subscription:

  • Cloud environment connectors (AWS EKS, Azure AKS). You have a Plus, Pro, or Enterprise subscription plan. For details, see Lens Pricing .
  • AI providers. Require a Lens Prism entitlement. If your plan does not include Lens Prism, a lock icon appears with an Upgrade your plan link.

Note

Local Kubeconfigs are available on all plans.

Requirements#

  • Lens Desktop installed and signed in with a Lens ID
  • Cloud environment connectors (AWS EKS, Azure AKS) require a Lens Pro or Enterprise subscription
  • AI provider configuration requires a subscription that includes Lens Prism
  • Local kubeconfig management is available on all plans

Limitations#

  • Google GKE integration is not yet available as a cloud environment connector
  • AI providers support Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and Lens (research preview). Other LLM protocols are not supported.
  • Cloud environment connectors require internet access and are not available in airgapped environments
