Description

Compute SSL policies must enforce a minimum TLS version of TLS_1_2 to prevent use of older, vulnerable protocol versions and weak cipher suites. The min_tls_version property on google.cloud.gcp_compute_ssl_policy (or gcp_compute_ssl_policy) resources must be defined and set to TLS_1_2. Resources that omit min_tls_version or set it to any other value are flagged.

- name: Create SSL policy with TLS 1.2 minimum
  google.cloud.gcp_compute_ssl_policy:
    name: my-ssl-policy
    profile: MODERN
    min_tls_version: TLS_1_2
