Service Account Impersonation

Learn how to securely use Google Cloud service accounts by creating them, granting impersonation permissions, generating short-lived credentials, and attaching service accounts to Compute Engine VMs.

You will:

• Create service accounts and assign them IAM roles
• Grant impersonation permissions and generate short-lived OAuth tokens
• Attach a service account to a Compute Engine VM instance
• Clean up all created resources

Every command is run through the gcloud CLI, building the muscle memory you need for the ACE exam and for day-to-day IAM administration.
