» google_service_account_key

Creates and manages service account key-pairs, which allow the user to establish identity of a service account outside of GCP. For more information, see the official documentation and API.

» Example Usage, creating a new Key Pair

resource "google_service_account" "myaccount" {
  account_id = "myaccount"
  display_name = "My Service Account"
}

resource "google_service_account_key" "mykey" {
  service_account_id = "${google_service_account.myaccount.name}"
  public_key_type = "TYPE_X509_PEM_FILE"
}

» Example Usage, save key in Kubernetes secret

resource "google_service_account" "myaccount" {
  account_id   = "myaccount"
  display_name = "My Service Account"
}

resource "google_service_account_key" "mykey" {
  service_account_id = "${google_service_account.myaccount.name}"
}

resource "kubernetes_secret" "google-application-credentials" {
  metadata = {
    name = "google-application-credentials"
  }
  data {
    credentials.json = "${base64decode(google_service_account_key.mykey.private_key)}"
  }
}

» Create new Key Pair, encrypting the private key with a PGP Key

resource "google_service_account" "myaccount" {
  account_id = "myaccount"
  display_name = "My Service Account"
}

resource "google_service_account_key" "mykey" {
  service_account_id = "${google_service_account.myaccount.name}"
  pgp_key = "keybase:keybaseusername"
  public_key_type = "TYPE_X509_PEM_FILE"
}

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • service_account_id - (Required) The Service account id of the Key Pair. This can be a string in the format {ACCOUNT} or projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{ACCOUNT}, where {ACCOUNT} is the email address or unique id of the service account. If the {ACCOUNT} syntax is used, the project will be inferred from the account.

  • key_algorithm - (Optional) The algorithm used to generate the key. KEY_ALG_RSA_2048 is the default algorithm. Valid values are listed at ServiceAccountPrivateKeyType (only used on create)

  • public_key_type (Optional) The output format of the public key requested. X509_PEM is the default output format.

  • private_key_type (Optional) The output format of the private key. TYPE_GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_FILE is the default output format.

  • pgp_key – (Optional) An optional PGP key to encrypt the resulting private key material. Only used when creating or importing a new key pair. May either be a base64-encoded public key or a keybase:keybaseusername string for looking up in Vault.

» Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported in addition to the arguments listed above:

  • name - The name used for this key pair

  • public_key - The public key, base64 encoded

  • private_key - The private key in JSON format, base64 encoded. This is what you normally get as a file when creating service account keys through the CLI or web console. This is only populated when creating a new key, and when no pgp_key is provided.

  • private_key_encrypted – The private key material, base 64 encoded and encrypted with the given pgp_key. This is only populated when creating a new key and pgp_key is supplied

  • private_key_fingerprint - The MD5 public key fingerprint for the encrypted private key. This is only populated when creating a new key and pgp_key is supplied

  • valid_after - The key can be used after this timestamp. A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, accurate to nanoseconds. Example: "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".

  • valid_before - The key can be used before this timestamp. A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, accurate to nanoseconds. Example: "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".
