Description

Kubernetes clusters should include resource labels to ensure assets are identifiable and support inventory, policy targeting, and incident response. For Ansible-managed GKE clusters using the google.cloud.gcp_container_cluster or gcp_container_cluster modules, the resource_labels property must be defined and contain at least one key/value pair. Tasks missing the resource_labels property or with it set to an empty value (for example, an empty string) are flagged.

Secure configuration example:

- name: Create GKE cluster with labels
  google.cloud.gcp_container_cluster:
    name: my-cluster
    resource_labels:
      env: prod
      owner: team-a

Compliant Code Examples

- name: create a cluster
  google.cloud.gcp_container_cluster:
    name: my-cluster
    initial_node_count: 2
    master_auth:
      username: cluster_admin
      password: my-secret-password
    node_config:
      machine_type: n1-standard-4
      disk_size_gb: 500
    location: us-central1-a
    project: test_project
    auth_kind: serviceaccount
    service_account_file: /tmp/auth.pem
    state: present
    resource_labels: label1
