What is Lens desktop?
Lens is the most powerful Kubernetes IDE on the market. It's a standalone application available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Some benefits of using Lens include:
Ensuring your clusters are properly set up and configured.
Enhancing visibility with real-time statistics, log streaming, and hands-on troubleshooting capabilities.
The ability to interact with clusters quickly and easily, significantly boosting productivity and business speed.
**Note**
If you're upgrading to a major version, such as Lens 5.0, all existing user data (your clusters, workspaces, preferences, etc.) will be migrated to the new data structure. If for any reason you might want to revert to a previous version of Lens, it's recommended that you back up your user data before updating. User data is typically stored in the following locations:
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Lens/`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Lens\`
- **Linux**: `~/.config/Lens/` or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Lens`
