The correct answer is B, Create an attestation for the builds that pass the load test by using a private key stored in Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS) authenticated through Workload Identity.
According to the Google Cloud documentation, Binary Authorization is a deploy-time security control that ensures only trusted container images are deployed on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Cloud Run1. Binary Authorization uses attestations to certify that a specific image has completed a previous stage in the CI/CD pipeline, such as passing a load test2. Attestations are signed by private keys that are associated with attestors, which are entities that verify the attestations3. To follow Google-recommended practices, you should store your private keys in Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS), which is a secure and scalable service for managing cryptographic keys4. You should also use Workload Identity, which is a feature that allows Kubernetes service accounts to act as Google service accounts, to authenticate to Cloud KMS and sign attestations without having to manage or expose service account keys5.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow Google-recommended practices. Option A and option D require human intervention to sign the attestations, which is not scalable or automated. Option C exposes the service account JSON key as a Kubernetes Secret, which is less secure than using Workload Identity.

Explanation
Your application runs on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You need to implement Jenkins for deploying application releases to GCP. You want to streamline the release process, lower operational toil, and keep user data secure. What should you do?

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From General Google Cloud Knowledge:
App Hub allows you to organize and discover services and applications within your Google Cloud environment. For App Hub to recognize and display resources as components of an "application," these resources often need to be explicitly registered or discovered as "services" within that application's configuration. While App Hub can automatically discover some resources (like GKE workloads, Cloud Run services), for other resources, or to establish specific relationships, manual registration or more detailed configuration is sometimes required.
Option A (Attach the project containing the forwarding rule as an App Hub service project): While App Hub works across projects (host project for the application, service projects for services and workloads), simply attaching the project might not be sufficient for App Hub to automatically pick up and categorize every resource like a forwarding rule specifically for a defined application without further context. The forwarding rule needs to be associated with a service within the App Hub application.
Option B (Enable the App Hub API in the project containing the forwarding rule): The App Hub API needs to be enabled in projects where you want to manage App Hub resources (applications, services, workloads). If it wasn't enabled, you likely wouldn't be able to see any resources from that project. Since other resources are visible, this is less likely the root cause for a single missing resource, though it's a prerequisite for App Hub to function at all with that project.
Option C (Configure the forwarding rule to forward to the correct target proxy): While correct configuration of the forwarding rule is essential for its operational functionality, App Hub's ability to list the forwarding rule is more about its discovery and registration within App Hub's model rather than its traffic-directing correctness. An incorrectly configured forwarding rule that is properly registered might still appear in App Hub, perhaps with an error status.
Option D (Register the forwarding rule as a service in the application configuration): App Hub applications are composed of "services," and these services are in turn composed of "workloads" or other discovered
/registered resources. A forwarding rule is typically an entry point or part of the infrastructure for a service.
Explicitly registering it or the resource it points to (which then allows App Hub to trace back to the forwarding rule) as a service or part of a service within the application configuration would make it visible and properly cataloged by App Hub. App Hub discovers resources by looking for specific labels or by manual registration. If it's not automatically discovered as part of a recognized workload (like a GCE instance group service exposed via a load balancer), explicit registration is often the way to make it appear.
Reference (Based on general App Hub functionality):
App Hub discovers resources that are part of registered applications and their services. Services in App Hub can be based on various Google Cloud resources. If a resource like a forwarding rule isn't automatically linked to a displayed workload, it might need to be explicitly defined as a service or part of a service.
From the Google Cloud documentation on App Hub concepts:
"Applications are the core organizational unit in App Hub. An application represents a logical system that delivers business value... Services represent the logical components of an application... Workloads are instances of your services running on Google Cloud infrastructure. App Hub automatically discovers workloads for supported resource types or you can manually register them." Forwarding rules are associated with load balancing, which exposes services. If the service that the forwarding rule points to is correctly registered and identified by App Hub, associated infrastructure like the forwarding rule should typically be discoverable. If it's not, ensuring the service it fronts is correctly registered and that App Hub understands this link is key. Option D aligns with this concept of ensuring the relevant component (which the forwarding rule is part of) is registered within the application structure.
