A developer needs temporary access as a service account for debugging. Administrators want auditable delegation without sharing a private key. Which approach best fits?

Published
  1. Use Workload Identity Federation with appropriately scoped trust and IAM grants.
  2. Use Workload Identity Federation for GKE with per-workload grants.
  3. Grant narrowly scoped service-account impersonation permissions and use short-lived credentials.
  4. Attach a least-privilege service account and use application default credentials.
