Kubectl-r[ex]ec: A kubectl plugin for auditing kubectl exec commands

As we’ve moved more towards containerized workloads at Adyen, we’ve increased our velocity of getting things done. We have also embraced one of our formula points – Launch fast and iterate – as containers provide an optimal way of doing fast release cycles . However, we know that velocity must not come at the cost of being compliant with regulations.

We choose Kubernetes as a container orchestrator for many of our greenfield projects and, to provide proper engineering autonomy, we give our engineers access to interact directly with it. Autonomy is especially handy for debugging, as engineering teams own their own applications.
