Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2 (Scored)

A service account is an identity that an instance or an application can use to run API requests on your behalf. This identity is used to identify applications running on your virtual machine instances to other Google Cloud Platform services. By default, Kubernetes Engine nodes are given the Compute Engine default service account. This account has broad access by default, making it useful to a wide variety of applications, but it has more permissions than are required to run your Kubernetes Engine cluster.
