I am running a spring boot application in GKE and I want to fetch application properties from the secret manager. I have setup it up to run using a service account that has the role: roles/secretmanager.admin.
It tried these 2 guides:
https://spring-gcp.saturnism.me/app-dev/cloud-services/secret-management
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/cloud-spring-cloud-gcp-secret-manager#0
When I try to start the application I get the following exception:
ConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext : Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'googleCredentials' defined in class path resource [com/google/cloud/spring/autoconfigure/core/GcpContextAutoConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [com.google.api.gax.core.CredentialsProvider]: Factory method 'googleCredentials' threw exception with message: io/grpc/Context
However, I am not running locally, I am running in GKE with a service account. How can I configure the application to work in that setup?
I this question: How to specify the GCP Credential Location in application.properties file (for using the Pub/Sub in GCP)? guillaume blaquiere says that you do not have to use key file, but I cannot make it work or find documentation.
