Remediation

To remediate the misconfiguration of using the latest Kubernetes version on GCP using the GCP console, you can follow the below steps:

  1. Open the GCP console and navigate to the Kubernetes Engine page.
  2. Select the cluster for which you want to update the Kubernetes version.
  3. Click on the ‘Edit’ button at the top of the page.
  4. In the ‘Master version’ section, select the latest Kubernetes version available from the dropdown list.
  5. Click on the ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the page to save the changes.

After you have completed these steps, GCP will automatically upgrade the Kubernetes version for your cluster to the latest version that you have selected. This will ensure that your cluster is running on the latest and most secure version of Kubernetes.
