Google Cloud Access Context Manager
- Access Context Manager allows organization administrators to define fine-grained, attribute-based access control for projects and resources
- Access Context Manager helps prevent data exfiltration
- Access Context Manager helps reduce the size of the privileged network and move to a model where endpoints do not carry ambient authority based on the network.
- Access Context Manager helps define desired rules and policy but isn’t responsible for policy enforcement. The policy is configured and enforced across various points, such as VPC Service Controls.
- Administrators define an access policy, which is an organization-wide container for access levels and service perimeters.
- Access levels are used for permitting access to resources based on contextual information about the request.
- Access is granted based on the context of the request, such as device type, user identity, and more, while still checking for corporate network access when necessary.
- Access Context Manager provides two ways to define access levels: basic and custom.
- Basic Access level
- is a collection of conditions that are used to test requests.
- Conditions are a group of attributes to be tested, such as device type, IP address, or user identity.
- Access level attributes represent contextual information about a request.
- Custom access levels
- are created using a subset of Common Expression Language.
- helps to permit requests based on data from third-party services.
- Basic Access level
- Service perimeters define sandboxes of resources that can freely exchange data within the perimeter but are not allowed to export data outside of it.
GCP Certification Exam Practice Questions
- Questions are collected from Internet and the answers are marked as per my knowledge and understanding (which might differ with yours).
- GCP services are updated everyday and both the answers and questions might be outdated soon, so research accordingly.
- GCP exam questions are not updated to keep up the pace with GCP updates, so even if the underlying feature has changed the question might not be updated
- Open to further feedback, discussion and correction.
