Putting the file into the `~/.minikube/files/` directory triggers the [file sync mechanism](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/sync/) to copy the `audit-policy.yaml` file
from the host onto the minikube node. When the API server container starts I'll mount the `/etc/ssl/certs` directory from the minikube node and can thus read the audit policy file.
You most likely want to tune the [Audit Policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/audit/#audit-policy) next as the one used in this tutorial is quite verbose.
To use a new file you need to stop and start minikube.
