Kubernetes Audit

Kubernetes Audit is a security and compliance feature within Kubernetes that logs all requests made to the Kubernetes API server, capturing details like user identity, request source, action performed, and outcome. It provides a chronological record of activities for monitoring, debugging, and auditing purposes, helping administrators track changes and detect unauthorized access or misconfigurations in the cluster.

Also known as: K8s Audit, Kubernetes Audit Logs, Kube Audit Logging, K8s API Audit, Kubernetes Audit Policy
