Spanner database backup encryption enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration “Spanner Database Backup Encryption Should Be Enabled” for GCP using GCP CLI, follow the below steps:

Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP console.
Run the following command to enable backup encryption for the Spanner database:
```
gcloud spanner databases update [DATABASE_ID] --backup-encryption-config kms-key-name=[KMS_KEY_NAME]
```
Replace [DATABASE_ID] with the ID of the Spanner database and [KMS_KEY_NAME] with the name of the KMS key used to encrypt the backups. For example:
```
gcloud spanner databases update my-database --backup-encryption-config kms-key-name=my-key
```
Verify that backup encryption is enabled by running the following command:
```
gcloud spanner databases describe [DATABASE_ID] --format="value(backupConfig.encryptionConfig.kmsKeyName)"
```
Replace [DATABASE_ID] with the ID of the Spanner database. The output should show the name of the KMS key used to encrypt the backups. For example:
```
gcloud spanner databases describe my-database --format="value(backupConfig.encryptionConfig.kmsKeyName)"
```
Repeat steps 2-3 for each Spanner database in your GCP project.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration “Spanner Database Backup Encryption Should Be Enabled” for GCP using GCP CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration “Spanner Database Backup Encryption Should Be Enabled” in GCP, we need to enable backup encryption for Spanner Database. Here are the steps to remediate this misconfiguration using Python:

Install the required libraries:

!pip install google-cloud-spanner

Set up the authentication credentials for the GCP project:

from google.oauth2 import service_account

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
    'path/to/service_account.json')

Import the required libraries:

from google.cloud import spanner_v1
from google.cloud.spanner_v1 import Backup
from google.cloud.spanner_v1 import BackupEncryptionConfig

Initialize the Spanner client:

spanner_client = spanner_v1.Client(credentials=credentials)

Get the instance and database IDs:

instance_id = 'your-instance-id'
database_id = 'your-database-id'

Get the backup configuration:

instance = spanner_client.instance(instance_id)
database = instance.database(database_id)
backup_config = database.backup_config

Check if backup encryption is enabled:

if backup_config.encryption_config.encryption_type == BackupEncryptionConfig.EncryptionType.GOOGLE_DEFAULT_ENCRYPTION:
    print('Backup encryption is already enabled.')
else:
    print('Backup encryption is not enabled.')

If backup encryption is not enabled, enable it:

backup_config.encryption_config.encryption_type = BackupEncryptionConfig.EncryptionType.GOOGLE_DEFAULT_ENCRYPTION
database.update_backup_config(backup_config)
print('Backup encryption has been enabled.')

Verify that backup encryption is enabled:

backup_config = database.backup_config
if backup_config.encryption_config.encryption_type == BackupEncryptionConfig.EncryptionType.GOOGLE_DEFAULT_ENCRYPTION:
    print('Backup encryption is enabled.')
else:
    print('Backup encryption is not enabled.')

These steps will enable backup encryption for the Spanner database in GCP.
