Events have a limited retention time and triggers and messages may evolve with time.
18+
Event consumers should not rely on the timing of an event with a given reason reflecting a consistent underlying trigger,
19+
or the continued existence of events with that reason.
20+
21+
22+
Events should be treated as informative, best-effort, supplemental data.

24+
In Kubernetes, [auditing](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/audit/) generates a different kind of
25+
Event record (API group `audit.k8s.io`).
