TAKE THE HASSLE OUT OF KUBERNETES WITH LENS AUTOPILOT

Anoop Kumar - September 27, 2022


Kubernetes is effective for building, deploying, and scaling applications, but
once you start provisioning hundreds to thousands of containers and
microservices, CI/CD pipelines become unmanageable and complex. That’s why
Mirantis is excited to announce the general availability of Lens Autopilot, a
DevOps-as-a-Service offering powered by Lens that frees enterprises from the
day-to-day hassles of Kubernetes and DevOps. 

Properly configuring, managing, and securing CI/CD pipelines at scale gets
overwhelming, and errors can lead to lost productivity, outages, or worse. With
Lens Autopilot, DevOps engineers from Mirantis take care of these challenges,
with guaranteed outcomes we’ll detail below that ensure you’re getting the most
out of your investment. Lens Autopilot enables your organization to benefit from
the agility and scalability of cloud native technologies while your developers
focus on building applications that meet real customer needs.

Lens, The Kubernetes Platform, based on an open source project led by Mirantis,
makes it easy to navigate, monitor and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters. Loved
by application developers and DevOps engineers around the world, Lens has more
than 650,000 users and is one of the most popular tools in the cloud native
ecosystem. Lens Autopilot combines the powerful capabilities of Lens with
Mirantis’ world-class professional services expertise to deliver a fully-managed
service for organizations that don’t have or don’t want in-house staff dedicated
to managing DevOps, which frees up your staff to focus on what they do best, and
enables you to rest assured our dedicated professionals are handling everything.

In this blog, we’ll provide an overview of Lens Autopilot, including the
outcomes it guarantees, and how it works to provide developer acceleration,
continuous proactive security, real-time monitoring and alerting, and other
benefits.


WHAT ARE THE GUARANTEED OUTCOMES OF LENS AUTOPILOT DEVOPS-AS-A-SERVICE?




The success of your company depends on your ability to innovate, and you don’t
want to risk investing in a DevOps service that doesn’t generate the results you
need. Drawing upon our deep expertise in Kubernetes and DevOps, along with the
powerful capabilities of Lens, Mirantis is proud and confident to guarantee
you’ll have the technical capability to achieve the following outcomes with Lens
Autopilot in 12 months or less:

5x-10x Increase In Application Deployment Speed. Accelerate innovation by
providing new features at a dramatically faster pace. 75% Reduction In Security
Vulnerabilities. Greatly reduce the number of security vulnerabilities to
safeguard clusters, workloads, and containers. Accelerated Time To Remediation.
Minimize application downtime and improve security with speedier incident
remediation. 2x-4x Reduction in Operational Costs. Achieve more with your IT
budget with lower DevOps/SRE costs and cost-efficient Kubernetes clusters.



It's important to remember that technical capabilities are only one part of the
equation. Achieving dramatic results typically also requires organizations to
adapt the appropriate governance model, stakeholder review processes, team
mindset, and other factors. Mirantis DevOps experts will also provide guidance
on transitioning your people and processes so you’ll have the highest likelihood
of attaining optimal outcomes.


HOW DOES LENS AUTOPILOT DEVOPS-AS-A-SERVICE WORK?

Lens Autopilot DevOps-as-a-Service combines the robust capabilities of Lens with
expert services from Mirantis DevOps Engineers to provide organizations with
developer acceleration, continuous proactive security, real-time monitoring and
alerting, and other benefits.

DEVELOPER ACCELERATION

Lens Autopilot removes the friction that comes with using Kubernetes, so you’ll
have the technical capability of increasing your application deployment speed by
up to 10x in 12 months or less.

With Lens Desktop, it’s fast and easy to explore and navigate Kubernetes without
having to bother with YAML or kubectl commands — perfect for developers just
getting started! At the team level, Lens Desktop facilitates collaboration among
developers with shared catalogs and secure cluster access sharing using the
cloud-based Lens Teamwork service. 

Spawning Kubernetes clusters is a piece of cake with Lens Kubernetes, which
provides lightweight clusters based on the open source k0s distribution
sponsored by Mirantis. 

But it’s not just the software. Cookie-cutter CI/CD workflows rarely work well
at enterprise scale. With Lens Autopilot, Mirantis SREs work with you to deliver
efficient CI/CD pipeline automations optimized for your specific applications,
development processes, and approach to DevOps. We leverage FluxCD, which uses a
GitOps framework to auto-push applications into production when changes are made
in the app repository. With Lens Autopilot Plus, our premier-level offering, we
take it a step further by customizing your GitOps automation workflow for your
specific use case. 

And what if your application fails to start, or high latency ruins your
application performance? The included DevOps-on-Demand online service provides
Mirantis Site Reliability Engineers on hand 8x5 or 24x7 to proactively respond
to incidents. They’ll chat with you directly in Lens when incidents arise, and
remotely access your clusters to troubleshoot and remediate.

CONTINUOUS PROACTIVE SECURITY

Securing clusters is one of the biggest challenges of operationalizing
Kubernetes at scale. With Lens Autopilot, we guarantee a 75% reduction in
security vulnerabilities after just 12 months. We provide tools for container
vulnerability reporting and container image scanning, along with Conftest, for
continuously monitoring namespaces. Our Site Reliability Engineers provide
continuous conformance and security audits using a Lens extension for Starboard,
a Kubernetes-native toolkit from Aqua Security, which monitors clusters and
applications around the clock and generates reports on detected vulnerabilities,
audits, and CSI Benchmarks so you can rest assured you are completely protected.

Lens Autopilot also features a visual RBAC model for fast and intuitive access
management that provides detailed insights into key resources and users, and how
they relate to each other. Lens Autopilot Plus goes further by optimizing the
RBAC model for your org structure and use case.

Whereas Lens Autopilot identifies security issues in your pipelines, Lens
Autopilot also continuously remediates the security issues, with a guarantee
that within 12 months you will be able to accelerate your average time to
remediation. In addition, we provide security reports, guidance on remediation,
proactive maintenance, and proactive policy-based security control for your
applications to lessen your risk.

REAL-TIME MONITORING AND ALERTING

Hands down, one of the greatest benefits of Lens Autopilot is its real-time
monitoring and alerting capabilities. With a few clicks, you can use the Lens
Desktop Application to find out the status of your clusters and resources and
view logs to troubleshoot and debug errors. Lens Autopilot also provides a 24x7
monitoring and alerting service, which can integrate with Slack or Microsoft
Teams, and a unified Grafana Loki dashboard for logging and visualization of key
metrics.



ENTERPRISE SCALABILITY

Lens Autopilot Plus features special services and integrations to help you
better manage Kubernetes deployments at scale. With the cost and chargeback
dashboard and visualized reports, based on a Lens extension for KubeCost, you’ll
have a better handle on your Kubernetes operational expenses, broken down by
project or team, with insight into the cost efficiency of each cluster and where
idle resources are wasting money. 

We also help you prepare for growth by providing a capacity analysis and
planning system based on Goldilocks, an open source tool for recommending
resource requests, and Stormforge, an optimization platform that automates
Kubernetes resource management at scale.

Lastly, our SREs consult with you to offer app troubleshooting, growth and
onboarding guidance, while also troubleshooting your application issues as they
arise so your people can focus on innovation.

REDUCED RISK AND LIABILITY

Lens Autopilot DevOps-as-a-Service reduces risk by addressing the talent
shortage in cloud computing, which continues to worsen as more organizations
ramp up cloud adoption. By utilizing Lens Autopilot, enterprises minimize the
risk of high turnover and leverage the deep technical expertise of Mirantis
professional services staff, who have helped hundreds of customers deploy
Kubernetes in production and transition to DevOps methodologies.


LEAVE DEVOPS TO THE EXPERTS

Companies achieve the most success when they focus on their core competency.
Don’t let Kubernetes and DevOps become major distractions that eat up your
staff’s time and energy. With Mirantis Autopilot, we’ll scale, secure, and
operationalize your Kubernetes clusters, so your team won’t have to worry about
any of the day-to-day demands of DevOps. By leaving the headaches of DevOps to
experts at Mirantis, you can let your developers do what they do best — building
apps and services that delight your customers and keep your business one step
ahead of the competition.
