Google Kubernetes clusters config checker tool

• gke-policy-automation

  8 508 7.0 Go

  Tool and policy library for reviewing Google Kubernetes Engine clusters against best practices

  

https://github.com/google/gke-policy-automation/blob/main/gk...

What's the point of requiring the control plane to be locked down to authorized networks (IP address ranges)? Isn't Google responsible for DDoS protection, enforcing authentication controls (i.e. logging in with a Google account in the right Google group), patching the control plane ASAP for any security vulnerabilities?

If you have a VPN, if you have heavy-duty network monitoring on your VPN endpoint, sure, limit it to the VPN. For the rest of us? Is every startup running GKE without heavy-duty VPN / network monitoring fundamentally insecure? That doesn't sound right to me. Security is supposed to be a spectrum, and it seems like black-and-white automated config checkers like these are more likely to provoke arguments internally ("but the tool said it's bad!!") than to help reach a nuanced understanding of why tradeoffs are made. No?

A similar tool is Popeye. It works on any cluster, not just clusters hosted on GKE.

There was a tool called ksonnet for this (jsonnet + a default library for k8s configs), but the company behind it got bought and it's no longer maintained: https://github.com/ksonnet/ksonnet

• cloud-sql-proxy

  4 1,227 9.2 Go

  A utility for connecting securely to your Cloud SQL instances

  

I wish they would reuse the pattern of Cloud SQL where you can get temporary access without manually handling the Authorized Networks setting. The Cloud SQL API lets you exchange your API access token for a short lived TLS client certificate. This is done client side by things like [cloudsql-proxy](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloudsql-proxy) and [the cloud-sql-jdbc-socket-factory java library](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-sql-jdbc-socket...). This way, I can access my Cloud SQL instance from my IDE, even though my list of authorized networks is empty.

I feel like the gke-gcloud-auth-plugin cloud do something very similar.
