GCP Terraform Misconfiguration: Compute Engine Default Service Account

Abstract

Terraform 配置创建了一个具有默认服务帐户的 Compute Engine 实例。

Explanation

如果在未指定用户托管服务帐号的情况下创建 Compute Engine 实例，Google Cloud 会为该实例分配一个默认服务帐号。默认服务帐号的访问权限往往超出实例运行所需的权限。这违反了最小特权原则。

示例 1：以下示例显示的 Terraform 配置创建了一个未指定用户托管服务帐户的 Compute Engine 实例。缺少 service_account 块。


resource "google_compute_instance" "instance-demo" {
    name = "name-demo"
    machine_type = "e2-micro"
    boot_disk {
    ...
    }
    network_interface {
    ...
    }
}
