Configure GMSA for Windows Pods and containers — Create GMSA credential spec resources

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). With the GMSACredentialSpec CRD installed (as described earlier), custom resources containing GMSA credential specs can be configured. The GMSA credential spec does not contain secret or sensitive data. It is information that a container runtime can use to describe the desired GMSA of a container to Windows. GMSA credential specs can be generated in YAML format with a utility PowerShell script. Following are the steps for generating a GMSA credential spec YAML manually in JSON format and then converting it Import the CredentialSpec module: ipmo CredentialSpec.psm1 Create a credential spec in JSON format using New-CredentialSpec. To create a GMSA credential spec named WebApp1, invoke New-CredentialSpec -Name WebApp1 -AccountName WebApp1 -Domain $(Get-ADDomain -Current LocalComputer) Use Get-CredentialSpec to show the path of the JSON file. Convert the credspec file from JSON to YAML format and apply the necessary header fields apiVersion, kind, metadata and credspec to make it a GMSACredentialSpec custom resource that can be configured in Kubernetes. The following YAML configuration describes a GMSA credential spec named gmsa-WebApp1 Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```yaml apiVersion: windows.k8s.io/v1 kind: GMSACredentialSpec metadata: name: gmsa-WebApp1 # This is an arbitrary name but it will be used as a reference credspec: ActiveDirectoryConfig: GroupManagedServiceAccounts: - Name: WebApp1 # Username of the GMSA account Scope: CONTOSO # NETBIOS Domain Name - Name: WebApp1 # Username of the GMSA account Scope: contoso.com # DNS Domain Name CmsPlugins: - ActiveDirectory DomainJoinConfig: DnsName: contoso.com # DNS Domain Name DnsTreeName: contoso.com # DNS Domain Name Root Guid: 244818ae-87ac-4fcd-92ec-e79e5252348a # GUID of the Domain MachineAccountName: WebApp1 # Username of the GMSA account NetBiosName: CONTOSO # NETBIOS Domain Name Sid: S-1-5-21-2126449477-2524075714-3094792973 # SID of the Domain ``` The above credential spec resource may be saved as gmsa-Webapp1-credspec.yaml and applied to the cluster using: kubectl apply -f gmsa-Webapp1-credspec.yml Attribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
