Triage and Remediation
Remediation
Using Console
Using Console
To remediate the misconfiguration “Bigtable Cluster should be encrypted” in GCP, you can follow the below steps using the GCP console:
- Open the GCP console and navigate to the Bigtable instance that needs to be encrypted.
- Click on the “Edit” button on the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the “Encryption” section and click on the “Edit” button next to it.
- Select the “Customer-managed key” option and choose the key that you want to use for encryption.
- Click on the “Save” button to save the changes.
- Once the changes are saved, the Bigtable cluster will be encrypted using the selected customer-managed key.
- Verify the encryption status of the Bigtable cluster by checking the “Encryption” section on the Bigtable instance page. It should show that the cluster is encrypted using the selected customer-managed key.
Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate the misconfiguration of a non-encrypted Bigtable cluster in GCP, you can follow these steps using GCP CLI:
- Open the Cloud Shell in your GCP console.
- Check the current status of the Bigtable cluster by running the following command:
- If the output shows that the cluster is not encrypted, then run the following command to enable encryption:
- Wait for the update to complete. This may take a few minutes.
- Verify that the encryption is enabled by running the following command:
- Check the output to confirm that the encryption-at-rest-state is set to ENABLED.
- Once you have confirmed that the encryption is enabled, you have successfully remediated the non-encrypted Bigtable cluster misconfiguration.
Using Python
Using Python
To remediate the misconfiguration “Bigtable Cluster Should Be Encrypted” in GCP using python, you can follow the below steps:In the above code snippet, replace “your-project-id”, “your-instance-id” and “your-cluster-id” with the actual values for your Bigtable cluster. Also, you can choose the encryption type as per your requirement.
- Open the GCP console and navigate to the Bigtable Clusters page.
- Select the Bigtable cluster that needs to be encrypted.
- Click on the “Edit” button to edit the cluster configuration.
- In the “Security” section, check if the “Encryption” option is enabled. If not, enable it.
- Choose the encryption type that you want to use. You can choose between Google-managed encryption keys or customer-managed encryption keys.
- If you choose customer-managed encryption keys, provide the key name and key version.
- Save the changes to update the Bigtable cluster configuration.
- To automate this process using python, you can use the GCP SDK libraries. Here is an example code snippet to enable encryption for a Bigtable cluster using python:
