How do I view Kubernetes pods in Lens using token-based authentication?

Context When setting up token-based authentication for Kubernetes clusters in Lens, users may encounter issues viewing pods, particularly when connecting to different environments (development or production infrastructure). Answer To properly view Kubernetes pods in Lens using token-based authentication: For production infrastructure, select "EKS" instead of "Kubernetes" when configuring your cluster connection After connecting to your cluster, navigate to the Pods section Use the namespace dropdown menu to select the specific namespace you want to view The pods within the selected namespace will then be displayed Note: If no pods are visible after connecting, always check that you have selected the correct namespace from the dropdown menu. By default, Lens may not show pods until a specific namespace is selected.
