Provisioning Lenses

Lenses can be provisioned using Lenses CLI. Use the provision sub-command to automate setting up Lenses and use GitOps compatible workflows. It requires a YAML file which describes the configured resources.

Eligible resourses to be provisioned:

  • Lenses license
  • Connections

Find the latest list of dynamically provisioned resources.

Example of the provision sub-command:

lenses-cli provision /opts/provision.yaml

Running the lenses-cli command will override previous configurations. Use --setup-mode to check if wizard has not been completed and continue to provision only then. See more details in Is CLI provision suitable for GitOps?
