GCP Big Table Admin Cluster

A Cloud Bigtable Admin Cluster represents the set of nodes, storage and networking resources that serve traffic for a particular Cloud Bigtable instance. Each cluster sits in a single Google Cloud region and is responsible for data replication, automatic fail-over and scaling within that region. Administrators create, update or delete clusters via the Bigtable Admin API, allowing them to control node count, storage type (SSD/HDD) and encryption settings.
For full details see the official Google documentation: projects.instances.clusters REST resource.

gcp-cloud-kms-crypto-key​

A Bigtable Admin Cluster can be configured to use customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK). When CMEK is enabled, the cluster’s encryptionConfig.kmsKeyName field references a specific Cloud KMS Crypto Key. Overmind therefore links the cluster resource to the corresponding gcp-cloud-kms-crypto-key so you can trace encryption dependencies and assess key-management risks.
