Mirantis Lens extension debuts on Docker Desktop
Summary
The combination of Lens, an IDE Mirantis acquired in 2020, and Docker Desktop makes the complex Kubernetes platform more accessible to developers who dont want to become systems experts, said Shaun OMeara, field CTO at Mirantis, a privately held open source software and services company based in Campbell, Calif. This means Mirantis can position itself as a provider of developer-friendly Kubernetes infrastructure, a task the industry has struggled with to date, he said. Last month, the company released 16 Docker Extensions, which provided developers with the ability to debug, manage networks and scan for vulnerabilities with one click. The Docker-Mirantis partnership allows Mirantis to tap into Dockers strong developer following, which it retained following the acquisition, Forresters Sustar said. Docker will benefit because it is now able to meet the demand of developers needing help with Kubernetes, he said, which -- without a pluggable -- is complicated and hard to implement.
