What functionality does OCI Audit Logs provide to users?

OCI Audit Logs provide users with compliance and security tracking by recording all API calls made within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This functionality is essential for auditing and ensures that organizations can monitor changes and interactions within their cloud resources. These logs include details such as who made the API call, what action was performed, and when it occurred, which is critical for maintaining security and meeting regulatory compliance requirements.

In a cloud environment, understanding the actions taken on resources is vital for both operational integrity and security. By analyzing audit logs, organizations can detect unauthorized access attempts or changes made to critical resources, thus enhancing their security posture and supporting compliance with business standards and regulations. This makes audit logs a fundamental tool for effective governance in cloud operations.
