gke-workload-security skillA
gke-workload-security is agent-read markdown (skill) from gke-labs/kube-agents: Audits, configures, and hardens workload-level security controls for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) applications and namespaces. Covers running cluster security audits (`audit_cluster.sh`), configuring Workload Identity Federation (impersonation, KSA/GSA binding, and pod setup), enforcing Network Policies (default-deny and Dataplane V2 logging), isolating high-risk pods inside GKE Sandbox (`gVisor`), enforcing Pod Security Standards (`restricted` labeling), and mounting Secret Manager secrets vi.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# GKE Workload Security
This skill provides workflows and best practices for securing GKE workloads. It
covers security auditing, Identity and Access Management (Workload Identity),
Network Security (Network Policies), and Node Security.
## Workflows
### 1. Security Audit
Assess the current security posture of your cluster using the provided audit
script.
**Prerequisites:**
- `gcloud` CLI authenticated.
- `jq` command-line JSON processor installed.
**Capabilities:**
- Checks for Workload Identity.
- Verifies Network Policy is enabled.
- Checks if Shielded Nodes are enabled.
- Checks if Binary Authorization is enabled.
- Checks for Private Cluster configuration.
**Command:**
```bash
scripts/audit_cluster.sh <cluster-name> <region> <project-id>
```
### 2. Configure Workload Identity
Workload Identity allows Kubernetes Service Accounts (KSAs) to impersonate
Google Service Accounts (GSAs). This is the recommended method for workloads to
access Google Cloud APIs.
**Steps:**
1. **Create Namespace and KSA:**
```bash
kubectl create namespace workload-identity-test-ns
kubectl create serviceaccount <ksa-name> \

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-workload-security@git:20260908.e4edc3bmdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-workload-security@sha256:4fbfa07c76939a24Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
