node-pool-uses-cos
Explanation
GKE supports several OS image types but COS_CONTAINERD is the recommended OS image to use on cluster nodes for enhanced security
Possible Impact
COS_CONTAINERD is the recommended OS image to use on cluster nodes
Suggested Resolution
Use the COS_CONTAINERD image type
Insecure Example
The following example will fail the google-gke-node-pool-uses-cos check.
resource "google_service_account" "default" {
account_id = "service-account-id"
display_name = "Service Account"
}
resource "google_container_cluster" "primary" {
name = "my-gke-cluster"
location = "us-central1"
# We can't create a cluster with no node pool defined, but we want to only use
# separately managed node pools. So we create the smallest possible default
# node pool and immediately delete it.
remove_default_node_pool = true
initial_node_count = 1
}
resource "google_container_node_pool" "bad_example" {
name = "my-node-pool"
cluster = google_container_cluster.primary.id
node_count = 1
node_config {
preemptible = true
machine_type = "e2-medium"
# Google recommends custom service accounts that have cloud-platform scope and permissions granted via IAM Roles.
service_account = google_service_account.default.email
oauth_scopes = [
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"
]
image_type = "something"
}
}

The following example will pass the google-gke-node-pool-uses-cos check.
