It describes Falco's event processing and outlines the required setup involving OVHcloud Logs Data Platform, a data stream, and an MKS cluster. ### Source excerpt Detecting threats in a Kubernetes cluster can be challenging, we generally don't know where and how to start. The good news is that we have an amount of valuable logs that can help us to know what is happened in the cluster. Indeed, each action requested or done by a user or an app, in a cluster, is recorded in Audit Logs. Kubernetes events are key to understanding the behavior of a cluster. We already provide plugins that let you parse Audit Logs and use Falco to detect threats from GKE, EKS and AKS clusters. With our latest plugin, you'll now have the same powerful threat detection capabilities for your OVHcloud MKS clusters 🎉. What is Falco? Falco is an Open Source cloud-native runtime security tool. It provides near real-time threat detection for cloud, container, and Kubernetes workloads by leveraging runtime insights. Falco can monitor events from various sources, including the Linux kernel, and enrich them with metadata from the Kubernetes API server, container runtime, and more. Falco can receive Events, compare them to a set of Rules to determine the actions to perform and generate Alerts to different endpoints. What is the OVH MKS Audit Logs plugin? The OVH audit logs plugin (k8saudit-ovh) extends Falco's capabilities to OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service (MKS) clusters, providing you with the same security insights and threat detection Falco already offers for GKE, EKS and AKS environments. With this plugin, you can seamlessly integrate MKS Audit Logs into Falco's event processing pipeline, enabling it to identify anomalies, suspicious activities, and policy violations within your MKS-based workloads. Concretely, when a user executes some kubectl commands in an OVHcloud MKS cluster, Audit Logs will be generated. Falco is listening to them, and depending on the configured rules to follow, it will generate some alerts. Using OVH MKS Audit Logs plugin In order to use the OVH MKS Audit Logs plugin, you must follow several steps: deploy an OVHcloud LDP (Logs ## Blog: Falco plugin for collecting AKS audit logs DevFeed: [Blog: Falco plugin for collecting AKS audit logs]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2025-03-09T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Falco - Falco](), [Falco - The Falco blog]() Topics: [Azure Kubernetes Service](), [Falco](), [Kubernetes](), [Security](), [threat detection](), [api server](), [Containers](), [Cloud Native Ecosystem](), [Kernel]() Tags: [aks](), [audit](), [auditlogs](), [azure](), [azure-kubernetes-service](), [falco](), [kubernetes](), [logs](), [plugin](), [security](), [threat-detection]() ### AI overview The article introduces a Falco plugin for collecting Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) audit logs. It explains how Falco uses runtime and Kubernetes data for threat detection and outlines the required Event Hub configuration and storage setup for using the plugin. ### Source excerpt Troubleshooting Kubernetes events is challenging due to the multitude of data sources involved: container logs, Kubernetes events, cloud logs, and more. Among these sources, Kubernetes audit logs are especially valuable for identifying threats, as every action passing through the Kubernetes API server is recorded there. We already provide plugins that let you parse and use Falco to detect threats in audit logs from GKE and EKS clusters. With our latest plugin, you'll now have the same powerful threat detection capabilities for your Azure AKS clusters. What is Falco? Falco is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project that provides runtime threat detection. Out of the box, Falco examines syscalls to alert you to any suspicious activity. And, since containers share the same kernel as their host, Falco can monitor not only activity on the host but also activity on all of the containers running on that host. Moreover, Falco pulls data from both Kubernetes and the container runtime to add additional context to its alerts. With Falco running on your GKE clusters you can be notified of a wide variety of events, such as: Did someone start a container with high privileges? Has someone shelled into a running container? Has an executable been added to the container after it was deployed? These are just a few examples. Falco has over 80 rules that can be used to make you aware of not only external threats but also when clusters aren't being operated in accordance with industry best practices. What is the AKS audit logs plugin? The AKS audit logs plugin extends Falco's capabilities to Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, providing you with the same security insights and threat detection Falco already offers for GKE and EKS environments. With this plugin, you can seamlessly integrate AKS audit logs into Falco's event processing pipeline, enabling it to identify anomalies, suspicious activities, and policy violations within your AKS-based workloads.

Past experience suggests that I'm not likely to derive any value from the site itself, so before it's completely forgotten, overlooked by an indifferent world and relegated to an unnoticed screenshot on my portfolio page, I thought I might wring a few ideas out of the making-of.
