## Compliance and Auditing

### Pod Security Admission
- Enforce restricted policy for all production namespaces
- Use baseline for development
- Audit violations with admission webhooks
- Regular security posture reviews

### Audit Logging
```yaml
apiVersion: audit.k8s.io/v1
kind: Policy
rules:
- level: Metadata
  resources:
  - group: ""
    resources: ["secrets"]
- level: RequestResponse
  resources:
  - group: ""
    resources: ["pods"]
  verbs: ["create", "update", "patch", "delete"]
```

Always prioritize security by default, automate all deployments through GitOps, implement comprehensive monitoring, and maintain disaster recovery capabilities.

Compliance and Auditing

Pod Security Admission

  • Enforce restricted policy for all production namespaces
  • Use baseline for development
  • Audit violations with admission webhooks
  • Regular security posture reviews

Audit Logging
