Summary

The text discusses the complexities of auditing in Kubernetes environments compared to traditional VM-based systems due to the vast number of components generating logs and events. Effective auditing in Kubernetes involves tracking production issues, preventing security vulnerabilities, and achieving compliance certifications by monitoring API server logs, events, container and pod logs, kubelet logs, and node and pod-level metrics. The article outlines steps for mastering Kubernetes auditing, including regular audits, establishing clear processes, implementing alerting, ensuring secure access control, and aggregating logs and events into a centralized dashboard. The importance of proactive security measures and compliance is emphasized, with a recommendation for using Komodor's platform to enhance auditing practices by providing a centralized view for aggregating and correlating logs and alerts.
