Re: [PATCH V6 05/10] audit: log creation and deletion of namespace instances

The requirements for auditing of containers should be derived from VPP. In it, 
it asks for selectable auditing, selective audit, and selective audit review. 
What this means is that we need the container and all its children to have one 
identifier that is inserted into all the events that are associated with the 
container.

That is technically impossible.  Nested containers exist.

That is when container G is nested in container F which is in turn
nested in container E which is in turn nested in container D which is in
turn nested in container C which is in turn nested in container B which
is nested in container A there is no one label you can put on audit
messages from container G which is the ``correct'' one.

Or are you proposing that something in container G have labels
A B C D E F G included on every audit message?   That introduces enough
complexity in generating and parsing the messages I wouldn't trust those
messages as the least bug in generation and parsing would be a security
issue.

What is the world is VPP?  It sounds like something non-public thing.
Certainly it has never been a part of the public container discussion
and as such it appears to be completely ridiculous to bring up in a
public discussion.
