out_gcs: add Workload Identity Federation support - #12326
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe GCS output plugin now supports Workload Identity Federation. It reads an OIDC subject token, exchanges it with Google STS, optionally impersonates a service account, caches the resulting token, and uses it for uploads. Configuration validation, cleanup, and runtime tests were added. ChangesGCS Workload Identity Federation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Workload Identity Federation adds dynamic token exchange and optional service-account impersonation; two bounded validation issues could cause refresh failures for unusual token contents or invalid expiry values. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these checks. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

When Workload Identity Federation is used with non-default TLS settings, this context hardcodes certificate verification on and never applies ins->tls_verify_hostname; the IAM context below does the same. Consequently, tls.verify off cannot support a private/intercepting CA, while tls.verify_hostname on is silently ignored for the STS/IAM calls even though it remains enabled for GCS. Build both federation TLS contexts from ins->tls_verify and apply flb_tls_set_verify_hostname() as the main output TLS setup does.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Exercise the federation exchange in this test.
FLB_GCS_PLUGIN_UNDER_TEST bypasses get_google_token(), so the upload assertion does not exercise federation. Separate the upload mock from the authentication bypass, mock STS/IAM, and assert the exchange. Replace TEST_PRIVATE_KEY with a token-shaped fixture.

Reject subject tokens that need JSON escaping.
The STS request body interpolates subject_token with %s and no JSON escaping. A base64url JWT is safe, but subject_token_type is configurable, so the credential source can hold other token formats. If the token contains ", \, or a control character, the body becomes malformed JSON and STS rejects the exchange with HTTP 400.
Validate the token when you read it.

Summary
Adds Workload Identity Federation (WIF) support to the
out_gcsoutput plugin as a keyless alternative to the staticgoogle_service_credentialsservice account key.When
enable_identity_federationis set, the plugin:identity_token_fileon every refresh. The token is never cached, because platforms such as a Kubernetes projectedserviceAccountTokenrotate the file.https://sts.googleapis.com/v1/token, grant typeurn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange) for a federated access token.google_service_accountis set, impersonates that service account through the IAM CredentialsgenerateAccessTokenAPI. Otherwise it uses the federated token directly (direct resource access).The resulting Bearer token flows through the existing upload path unchanged, and static service account key auth is untouched and remains the default. The flow follows the existing federation implementation in
out_bigquery(which is AWS specific); this adds a generic OIDC token file source.New configuration options
