Triage and Remediation

Remediation

To remediate the misconfiguration “Consider GKE Sandbox For Running Untrusted Workloads” for GCP using the GCP console, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Google Cloud Console and navigate to the GKE cluster that you want to remediate.

  2. Click on the “Workloads” tab and select the workload that you want to run in the GKE Sandbox.

  3. Click on the “Edit” button to open the workload configuration.

  4. In the “Security” section of the configuration, enable the “Sandbox” option.

  5. Click on the “Save” button to apply the changes.

  6. Verify that the workload is now running in the GKE Sandbox by checking the “Status” column in the “Workloads” tab. The status should be “Running” with a green checkmark.

  7. Repeat steps 2-6 for any other workloads that need to be remediated.

By enabling the GKE Sandbox for running untrusted workloads, you are providing an additional layer of security to your GKE cluster by running potentially malicious workloads in a secure, isolated environment.
