How to Prevent a Release From Applying Configuration to the Wrong Cloud Account

11/10/2026

A deployment pipeline can use valid credentials for the wrong account or environment if target identity is implicit.

Checks to make

Display and validate account, project, region, and workspace before apply. Use environment-specific credentials, fail closed on unexpected identifiers, and require approval against the exact target and artifact. Record target identity with the deployment.
