Overview

Google Cloud Key Management Services is a cloud key management service (KMS) that provides a secure store for encryption keys. This feature allows ONTAP to securely protect its encryption keys using Google Cloud KMS. In order to use Google Cloud KMS with ONTAP, a user must first deploy a Google Cloud application with appropriate access to the Google Cloud KMS and then provide ONTAP with the necessary details, such as, project ID, key ring name, location, key name and application credentials to allow ONTAP to communicate with the deployed Google Cloud application. The properties state, google_reachability and ekmip_reachability are considered advanced properties and are populated only when explicitly requested.

Examples

Enabling GCKMS for an SVM

The following example shows how to enable GCKMS at the SVM-scope. Note the return_records=true query parameter is used to obtain the newly created key manager configuration.

# The API:
POST /api/security/gcp-kms

# The call:
curl -X POST 'https://<mgmt-ip>/api/security/gcp-kms?return_records=true' -H 'accept: application/hal+json' -d '{"svm":{"uuid":"f36ff553-e713-11ea-bd56-005056bb4222" }, "project_id": "testProj", "key_ring_name":"testKeyRing", "key_ring_location": "global", "key_name": "key1", "application_credentials": "{\"client_email\": \"my@account.email.com\", \"private_key\": \"ValidPrivateKey\"}"}'

# The response:
