Rotate storage authentication keys

Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped appliance has a software-defined storage provider with its own authentication system where each identity (core service or client) has an associated name and a key.

This document describes the steps to rotate the authentication keys that must be performed for:

  • regularly scheduled key rotation to ensure that the device is compliant and secure.
  • key exposure. You should rotate the exposed key as soon as possible.

  1. You meet the laptop prerequisites.
  2. You are able to SSH into the three nodes and execute software-defined storage CLI commands.
  3. You are able to log as admin in to the root admin cluster via kubectl.
