This is a best effort extraction, the last-applied-configuration is part of the legacy mechanism to track changes with client side apply. It's not there when using server-side apply or when creating the resources without apply.

The kubelet exposes an API to list the pods spec managed by it, we could rely on it but it's not always accessible (especially in a secure clutster). Otherwise we could pass from Apiserver proxy.

TBH I would rather deprecate this feature from the container plugin, as it is a Kubernetes specific information and not strictly related to the container runtime.

I tend to agree with this.

cc @falcosecurity/plugins-maintainers any thoughts in this regard? 🤔

I agree with the fact that this is a kubernetes-specific information and that the mechanism is a bit fragile. At this point, better to remove the support here and move it to k8smeta
