GitLab🤝Google: Open Source Cloud Seed Tool for GCP Resources

Developers can misconfigure the code to access the services of the Google Cloud Platform. These misconfigurations are usually never detected unless there’s a cybersecurity breach, by when it’s too late. 

To achieve the goal of securing the application development platforms without hampering the rate at which the software is being developed and deployed is challenging, says Nima Badiey, global vice president of alliances for GitLab.  Achieving this goal will need proper policies, training, and systems. Such a cloud seed tool can ensure that developers don’t have to write codes. Thus, the cloud seed tool can eliminate the chances of misconfiguration of the services. 

The major challenge in ensuring the security of applications is that many developers are not well-versed in cybersecurity. To overcome this challenge, more and more systems need to be added to DevOps tools and platforms to ensure the risk of cybersecurity mistakes is minimized. 

The cloud seed tool will make it easier for developers to access the GCP resources. Moreover, it will have the following benefits:

• Developers can easily generate Google Cloud Service accounts
• Easier deployment of applications to Cloud Run
• Access to Google’s fully managed platform for containerized applications
• Can access SQL databases directly from the GitLab web interface
