Description

A retention policy for a Cloud Storage bucket governs how long objects in the bucket must be retained. Bucket Lock is a feature to permanently restrict edits to the data retention policy. Bucket Lock should be enabled because it preserves activity logs for forensics and security investigations if the system is compromised by an attacker or malicious insider who wants to cover their tracks.

How to fix?

Set the retention_policy.is_locked attribute to true.

Example Configuration

resource "google_storage_bucket" "logs_bucket" {
  name                        = "valid-bucket-lock"
  force_destroy               = true
  uniform_bucket_level_access = true

  retention_policy {
    retention_period = 86400
    is_locked        = true
  }
}
