Resources

Additionally, StrongDM offers proxied access to cloud resources using the following resource types.

hashtag
Cloud Resources

  • GCP (Workforce Identity Federation) - Proxy access to manage your Google Cloud via the CLI or through the web console using Workforce Identity Federation to authenticate. See the GCP (Workforce Identity Federation) guide for more details.

  • GCP CLI/SDK (Service Account) - Proxy access to your Google Cloud for service accounts via the CLI or SDKs. See the GCP CLI/SDK (Service Account) guide for more details.

Cluster Resources

When setting up Kubernetes, it's advisable to use a Helm chart and the Kubernetes (Pod Identity) resource type. If you're manually setting up a Kubernetes resource in the cloud, you can also use the Google-specific GKE resource type.

hashtag
Server Resources

Any of StrongDM's SSH resource types (listed on the Servers page) can be used to set up AWS server instances as resources in StrongDM.

hashtag
Datasource Resources

A variety of StrongDM's datasource resource types can be used to support Cloud SQL and other GCP resource types, depending on the database protocol used (see the Datasources list to review the available resource types), and there is also a bespoke BigQuery resource type.
