description: Plans, configures, and hardens platform-level Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster security. Covers cluster add-ons (Secret Manager enablement), RBAC hardening (disabling insecure bindings, audit tools), Binary Authorization, Secrets Encryption (--database-encryption-key), Security Posture (--security-posture), enabling Shielded Nodes, GKE Sandbox cluster enablement, GKE IAM roles, and cross-service authentication IAM patterns. Use when securing cluster control planes, hardening GKE RBAC, enabling Shielded Nodes, enabling GKE Sandbox runtime, enabling cluster-wide security add-ons, or managing GKE IAM roles. Don't use for Workload Identity (use gke-workload-identity) or workload-level security (SecretProviderClass, PSS, NetPol, gVisor pod runtimeClassName; use gke-workload-security).
