Yes. Every GPU instance on io.net generates activity logs covering provisioning, access, runtime events, and termination. For enterprise plans, extended audit logging captures granular details needed for SOC 2, HIPAA, and regulatory compliance.
This matters for two reasons: accountability (who accessed what, when) and cost forensics (why did our GPU bill spike last Tuesday). Both are table stakes for any organization running production AI infrastructure.
What Gets Logged
Standard logging (all plans):
- Instance creation and termination timestamps
- GPU type, duration, and cost per session
- API key used for provisioning
- Network ingress/egress volumes
- Container image pulled
- Instance status changes (running, stopped, failed)
Enterprise logging (additional):
- SSH session start/end with source IP
- File system mount events
- Data transfer operations (upload/download with sizes)
- Model checkpoint save/load events
- GPU utilization snapshots (every 5 minutes)
- API calls with request/response metadata
- User identity (linked to SSO for enterprise)
Accessing Your Logs
Dashboard: The io.net web console shows a timeline view of all instance activity, filterable by date range, GPU type, team member, or project tag.
API: Pull logs programmatically for integration with your monitoring stack:
# Get activity log for the last 7 days
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
"https://api.io.net/v1/logs?start=2026-05-05&end=2026-05-12"
Export: Enterprise plans support log export to external systems — Splunk, Datadog, Elasticsearch, or any webhook endpoint. Logs ship in real-time via a streaming connection, so your SIEM has near-instant visibility.
Cost Attribution and Tagging
For teams with multiple projects or cost centers, io.net supports project tags on every instance:
# Tag instances at creation for cost attribution
io.net deploy --gpu rtx4090 --tag project:recommendation-engine --tag team:ml-platform
Tags flow through to billing and audit logs, making it straightforward to answer "how much did the recommendation team spend on GPUs this month?" without manual tracking.
Compliance Mapping
| Compliance Framework | Relevant Log Data | io.net Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 (Security) | Access logs, auth events, change management | Full (enterprise) |
| HIPAA (Healthcare) | PHI access logs, user identity, timestamps | Full (enterprise + Confidential Compute) |
| GDPR (Data Protection) | Data processing records, deletion logs | Full |
| ISO 27001 | Security event logs, incident records | Full (enterprise) |
| Internal audit | Cost attribution, resource usage, approvals | Full |
Retention
Standard plan: 90 days of log retention.
Enterprise plan: Configurable retention up to 7 years (or export to your own storage for indefinite retention).
All logs are immutable once written — they can't be modified or deleted, which satisfies tamper-proofing requirements for most compliance frameworks.
