Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the step-by-step instructions to remediate the issue of SQL Read Replica Instances not being encrypted using Customer Managed Keys (CMKs) in GCP Console:
- Open the GCP Console and navigate to the Cloud SQL instances page.
- Select the read replica instance that you want to encrypt.
- Click on the “Edit” button at the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the “Encryption” section and select “Customer-managed key” from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the “Select a key” button and choose the desired key from the list of available keys.
- If you don’t have a key yet, click on the “Create a key” button and follow the instructions to create a new key.
- Once you have selected or created the key, click on the “Save” button to apply the changes.
- Wait for the encryption to complete. This may take some time depending on the size of your database.
- Once the encryption is complete, verify that the replica is now using customer-managed encryption keys by checking the “Encryption” section of the instance details page.
Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate this misconfiguration in GCP using GCP CLI, please follow the below steps:Replace Replace
- Firstly, identify the SQL Read Replica instance that needs to be encrypted using CMKs. You can use the following command to list all the SQL instances in your GCP project:
- Once you have identified the SQL Read Replica instance, you can enable encryption using the following command:
[INSTANCE_NAME] with the name of your SQL Read Replica instance, [KEY_NAME] with the name of the CMK that you want to use for encryption, and [KEY_PATH] with the path to the CMK.For example:- Verify that the encryption has been enabled for the SQL Read Replica instance using the following command:
[INSTANCE_NAME] with the name of your SQL Read Replica instance.The output of the above command should be True, indicating that encryption has been enabled for the SQL Read Replica instance using CMKs.By following the above steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of SQL Read Replica Instances not being encrypted using Customer Managed Keys (CMKs) in GCP.Using Python
Using Python
To remediate this misconfiguration for GCP using Python, you can follow the below steps:In the above code, replace
- First, you need to ensure that you have enabled the Cloud KMS API for your GCP project.
- Next, you need to create a new customer-managed key (CMK) in the Cloud KMS service. You can use the following Python code to do this:
- Once you have created the CMK, you can use it to encrypt the read replica instance. To do this, you can use the
google-cloud-sqlPython library. First, install the library using pip:
- Then, you can use the following Python code to encrypt the read replica instance:
'project-id' with your GCP project ID, 'my-instance' with the name of your read replica instance, and 'projects/project-id/locations/global/keyRings/my-key-ring/cryptoKeys/my-key-id' with the path to your CMK.
