Hi,  
when I upgrade AWS EKS version from 1.28 to 1.30, Lens can’t access Pod Shell or Node shell, and Terminal kubectl command also doesn’t work. Do the latest version support AWS EKS 1.30 ?

Hi! Which Lens version are you using? I just tested and for me node shell works with AWS EKS 1.30.

Version: Lens: 2024.11.131815-latest  
When I open Pod shell like crash and window disappear. And use kubectl command in Terminal , can not get any result. But the AWS EKS 1.28 running well in the same lens.

Problem solved. The DIRECTORY FOR BINARIES variable use old version kubectl. Update kubectl version to 1.31.1 is working.

Hi vline,  
How do you adjust DIRECTORY FOR BINARIES on the lens app? Can you give me more details on this action ? Thank you so much
