Remediation

To remediate the misconfiguration “Cloud CDN Regional Backend Services Failover Policy Should Be Enabled” for GCP using GCP console, please follow the below steps:

  1. Open the GCP console and navigate to the Cloud CDN page.
  2. Select the CDN endpoint you want to remediate.
  3. Click on the “Edit” button at the top of the page.
  4. Scroll down to the “Backend services” section and click on the “Edit” button next to it.
  5. Click on the “Advanced” tab.
  6. Under “Failover policy”, select the “Enabled” option.
  7. Click on the “Save” button to save the changes.

By enabling the failover policy, the CDN endpoint will automatically switch to a backup backend service if the primary service becomes unavailable. This will ensure that your users continue to have access to your content even in the event of a backend service failure.
