 - **Event log**: Services inside a TDX instance can record events they want exposed to the operator
  used to record and query events. Useful to record service startup/shutdown, errors, progress updates,
  hashes, etc.
+- **Actions**: Ability to execute shell commands via API
 
 Future features:
 
 - Operator can set a password for http-basic-auth (persisted, for all future requests)
 - Operator-provided configuration (i.e. config values, secrets, etc.)
