Description

When Using Application-layer Secrets Encryption you can use a key that you manage in Cloud KMS, to encrypt data at the application layer. This protects against attackers in the event that they manage to gain access to the etcd database of {GcpGkeCluster}. It was detected that {GcpGkeCluster} is not using Application-layer Secrets Encryption in it's etcd database.
