Triage and Remediation
Remediation
Sure, here are the step-by-step instructions to remediate the SQL instance storage auto-resize misconfiguration in GCP:
- Open the Google Cloud Console and navigate to the SQL instances page.
- Select the SQL instance that needs to be remediated.
- Click on the “Edit” button at the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the “Storage” section and click on the “Edit” button next to “Storage autoresize”.
- Toggle the switch to the right to enable storage autoresize.
- Set the maximum storage size limit, if required.
- Click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the page to save the changes.
Once the above steps are completed, the SQL instance will have storage autoresize enabled and will automatically increase the storage capacity when required.
To remediate the misconfiguration “SQL Instances should have Storage Auto Resize Enabled” for GCP using GCP CLI, follow these steps:
-
Open the Cloud Shell on the Google Cloud Platform Console.
-
Run the following command to list all the SQL instances in your project:
gcloud sql instances list -
Select the instance that you want to remediate and run the following command to enable storage auto resize for that instance:
gcloud sql instances patch INSTANCE_NAME --enable-storage-autoresizeReplace
INSTANCE_NAMEwith the name of the instance that you want to remediate. -
Verify that the storage auto resize is enabled for the instance by running the following command:
gcloud sql instances describe INSTANCE_NAME | grep storageAutoResizeReplace
INSTANCE_NAMEwith the name of the instance that you remediated.If the output shows
storageAutoResize: true, then the remediation was successful.
That’s it! You have successfully remediated the misconfiguration “SQL Instances should have Storage Auto Resize Enabled” for GCP using GCP CLI.
To remediate the misconfiguration “SQL Instances should have Storage Auto Resize Enabled” for GCP using Python, follow the steps below:
- Install the
google-cloud-sqllibrary using pip:
pip install google-cloud-sql
- Import the necessary modules:
from google.cloud import sql_v1beta4
from google.oauth2 import service_account
- Set up the authentication by creating a service account and downloading the JSON key file. Then, create a
credentialsobject using the JSON key file:
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file('/path/to/keyfile.json')
- Create a
sql_v1beta4.CloudSqlClientobject using thecredentialsobject:
client = sql_v1beta4.CloudSqlClient(credentials=credentials)
- Get the list of SQL instances using the
list()method of theclient.instances()object:
instances = client.instances().list(project='my-project-id', location='us-central1-a').execute()
Replace my-project-id with your GCP project ID and us-central1-a with the location of your SQL instances.
6. Loop through the list of instances and check if the settings.storageAutoResize property is set to True. If not, enable it using the patch() method of the client.instances() object:
for instance in instances['items']:
if not instance['settings']['storageAutoResize']:
instance['settings']['storageAutoResize'] = True
operation = client.instances().patch(project='my-project-id', instance=instance['name'], body=instance).execute()
print(f"Enabled storage auto resize for instance {instance['name']}. Operation ID: {operation['name']}")
Replace my-project-id with your GCP project ID.
This code will enable storage auto resize for all SQL instances in the specified project and location that do not already have it enabled.
