Disable workload identity at cluster creation remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of disabling Workload Identity at Cluster Creation in GCP using GCP CLI, you can follow the below steps:Step 1: Open the Cloud Shell from the GCP Console.Step 2: Run the following command to check if Workload Identity is enabled or not:

gcloud container clusters describe [CLUSTER_NAME] --zone [ZONE] | grep workloadIdentityConfig

Step 3: If the output shows workloadIdentityConfig: {}, then Workload Identity is not enabled for the cluster.Step 4: To enable Workload Identity for the cluster, run the following command:

gcloud container clusters update [CLUSTER_NAME] --zone [ZONE] --workload-pool=[PROJECT_ID].svc.id.goog

Note: Replace [CLUSTER_NAME], [ZONE], and [PROJECT_ID] with the appropriate values.Step 5: Verify that Workload Identity is enabled for the cluster by running the following command:

gcloud container clusters describe [CLUSTER_NAME] --zone [ZONE] | grep workloadIdentityConfig

Step 6: If the output shows workloadIdentityConfig: workloadPool: [PROJECT_ID].svc.id.goog, then Workload Identity is enabled for the cluster.By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of disabling Workload Identity at Cluster Creation in GCP using GCP CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the “Disable Workload Identity at Cluster Creation” misconfiguration in GCP using Python, you can follow the below steps:

Install the Google Cloud SDK by following the instructions provided in the GCP documentation.
Once the SDK is installed, authenticate with your GCP account using the following command:

gcloud auth login

Create a Python script to enable Workload Identity at Cluster Creation. You can use the following code as a starting point:

from googleapiclient import discovery
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials

# Set the project ID and zone
project_id = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'
zone = 'YOUR_ZONE'

# Authenticate with GCP
credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
service = discovery.build('container', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

# Set the cluster name
cluster_name = 'YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME'

# Get the current cluster configuration
cluster = service.projects().zones().clusters().get(projectId=project_id, zone=zone, clusterId=cluster_name).execute()

# Enable Workload Identity
cluster['workloadIdentityConfig'] = {'enabled': True}

# Update the cluster configuration
response = service.projects().zones().clusters().update(projectId=project_id, zone=zone, clusterId=cluster_name, body=cluster).execute()

# Print the response
print(response)

Replace the placeholders with your own project ID, zone, and cluster name.
Run the Python script using the following command:

python script.py

Verify that Workload Identity has been enabled for the cluster by checking the cluster configuration in the GCP Console or using the following command:

gcloud container clusters describe YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME --zone YOUR_ZONE --project YOUR_PROJECT_ID

Note: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the GCP resources before running the script.
