Description

Failure to enable Hadoop Secure Mode/Kerberos in Google Cloud Dataproc increases the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. Enabling Hadoop Secure Mode/Kerberos ensures authentication and encryption for secure cluster communication and protects sensitive data from unauthorized access.

How to fix?

Set the enable_kerberos attribute to true in kerberos_config of the Dataproc cluster.

Example Configuration

resource "google_dataproc_cluster" "mycluster" {
  name = "clustera1"
  region = "us-east-1"

  cluster_config {
    security_config {
      kerberos_config {
        kms_key_uri = "projects/test-project/locations/global/keyRings/kerberos-key-ring/cryptoKeys/kerberos-crypto-key"
        root_principal_password_uri = "gs://kerberos-secret-bucket20/ciphertext.encrypted"
        enable_kerberos = true
      }
    }
  }
}
