Event is a Kubernetes object that describes state change/notable occurrences in the system.

|
|
Events have a limited retention time and triggers and messages may evolve with time.
|
|
Event consumers should not rely on the timing of an event with a given reason reflecting a consistent underlying trigger,
|
|
or the continued existence of events with that reason.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Events should be treated as informative, best-effort, supplemental data.
|
|
|
|
In Kubernetes, [auditing](/docs/tasks/debug/debug-cluster/audit/) generates a different kind of
|
|
Event record (API group `audit.k8s.io`).
