  <h1>Google Secret Manager</h1>

<h2 id="google-cloud-secret-manager">Google Cloud Secret Manager</h2>
<p>External Secrets Operator integrates with <a href="https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager">GCP Secret Manager</a> for secret management.</p>
<h2 id="authentication">Authentication</h2>
<h3 id="workload-identity">Workload Identity</h3>
<p>Your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) applications can consume GCP services like Secrets Manager without using static, long-lived authentication tokens. This is our recommended approach of handling credentials in GCP. ESO offers two options for integrating with GKE workload identity: <strong>pod-based workload identity</strong> and <strong>using service accounts directly</strong>. Before using either way you need to create a service account - this is covered below.</p>
<h4 id="creating-workload-identity-service-accounts">Creating Workload Identity Service Accounts</h4>
<p>You can find the documentation for Workload Identity <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/workload-identity">here</a>. We will walk you through how to navigate it here.</p>
<p>Search <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/workload-identity">the document</a> for this editable values and change them to your values:
<em>Note: If you have installed ESO, a serviceaccount has already been created. You can either patch the existing <code>external-secrets</code> SA or create a new one that fits your needs.</em></p>
<ul>
<li><code>CLUSTER_NAME</code>: The name of your cluster</li>
<li><code>PROJECT_ID</code>: Your project ID (not your Project number nor your Project name)</li>
<li><code>K8S_NAMESPACE</code>: For us following these steps here it will be <code>es</code>, but this will be the namespace where you deployed the external-secrets operator</li>
<li><code>KSA_NAME</code>: external-secrets (if you are not creating a new one to attach to the deployment)</li>
<li><code>GSA_NAME</code>: external-secrets for simplicity, or something else if you have to follow different naming conventions for cloud resources</li>
<li><code>ROLE_NAME</code>: should be <code>roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor</code> - so you make the pod only be able to access secrets on Secret Manager</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="using-service-accounts-directly">Using Service Accounts directly</h4>
<p>Let's assume you have created a service account correctly and attached a appropriate workload identity. It should roughly look like this:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="nt">apiVersion</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">v1</span><span class="w"></span>
<span class="nt">kind</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">ServiceAccount</span><span class="w"></span>
<span class="nt">metadata</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"></span>
<span class="w">  </span><span class="nt">name</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">external-secrets</span><span class="w"></span>
<span class="w">  </span><span class="nt">namespace</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">es</span><span class="w"></span>
<span class="w">  </span><span class="nt">annotations</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"></span>

</code></pre></div>
<p>You can reference this particular ServiceAccount in a <code>SecretStore</code> or <code>ClusterSecretStore</code>. It's important that you also set the <code>projectID</code>, <code>clusterLocation</code> and <code>clusterName</code>. The Namespace on the <code>serviceAccountRef</code> is ignored when using a <code>SecretStore</code> resource. This is needed to isolate the namespaces properly.</p>

</code></pre></div>
<p><em>You need to give the Google service account the <code>roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator</code> role so it can generate a service account token for you (not necessary in the Pod-based Workload Identity bellow)</em></p>
<h4 id="using-pod-based-workload-identity">Using Pod-based Workload Identity</h4>
<p>You can attach a Workload Identity directly to the ESO pod. ESO then has access to all the APIs defined in the attached service account policy. You attach the workload identity by (1) creating a service account with a attached workload identity (described above) and (2) using this particular service account in the pod's <code>serviceAccountName</code> field.</p>
<p>For this example we will assume that you installed ESO using helm and that you named the chart installation <code>external-secrets</code> and the namespace where it lives <code>es</code> like:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>helm install external-secrets external-secrets/external-secrets --namespace es
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then most of the resources would have this name, the important one here being the k8s service account attached to the external-secrets operator deployment:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="c1"># ...</span><span class="w"></span>

<p>The pod now has the identity. Now you need to configure the <code>SecretStore</code>.
You just need to set the <code>projectID</code>, all other fields can be omitted.</p>

<h3 id="gcp-service-account-authentication">GCP Service Account authentication</h3>
<p>You can use <a href="https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts">GCP Service Account</a> to authenticate with GCP. These are static, long-lived credentials. A GCP Service Account is a JSON file that needs to be stored in a <code>Kind=Secret</code>. ESO will use that Secret to authenticate with GCP. See here how you <a href="https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-accounts">manage GCP Service Accounts</a>.
After creating a GCP Service account go to <code>IAM &amp; Admin</code> web UI, click <code>ADD ANOTHER ROLE</code> button, add <code>Secret Manager Secret Accessor</code> role to this service account.
The <code>Secret Manager Secret Accessor</code> role is required to access secrets.</p>
