Using OAuth 2.0 (recommended)

OAuth 2.0 is an industry standard for authentication between clients and servers.

OAuth 2.0 uses an authorization framework in which a client requests an authorization grant from the resource owner to access a protected resource. For example, a compute VM (the client) requests an authorization grant from the GCP (the resource owner) to access Google cloud storage (the protected resource). The client uses the authorization grant to request an OAuth 2.0 token from an authorization server (for example, GCP metadata server). The resource owner delegates the authorization server to issue an OAuth 2.0 token based on the permissions of the authorization grant. The OAuth 2.0 token has a limited lifetime and permissions that are based on the authorization grant.
