How to assign owners to GCP Kubernetes Nodes

Administrators can have ephemeral compute instances flagged as not having an owner in Vanta on the Inventory items and have owners test. Often, the cases were already terminated before an administrator has time to take any action, or if the instances are still up, the admin must manually assign owners to several different resources on the inventory page.

Going to the Kubernetes engine page, selecting clusters, and scrolling down to Metadata allows administrators to add the VantaOwner label to the cluster. This will enable them to assign an owner to the nodes by entering the owner's Vanta-associated email address.

Prerequisites

  • Administrator access on Vanta

  • GCP Owner access

Procedure

  • Confirm the Vanta-associated email of the owner you wish to assign the nodes to; you can find their email on their profile on the People Page:

  • When setting the email value, follow the correct GCP label syntax. See Bulk Tags in Vanta for more information:

  • Once added, these tags should be applied to all new nodes upon creation:
