You can securely connect GitHub Actions to Google Cloud using the Google GitHub Action called `auth`. It supports two main ways: the recommended Workload Identity Federation (WIF), which uses short-lived tokens and avoids long-lived service account keys, and the older Service Account Key JSON method. WIF improves security by creating a trust link between your GitHub workflow and Google Cloud without exposing permanent credentials. To use it, you set up a Workload Identity Pool and Provider in Google Cloud, then configure your GitHub workflow to authenticate with these. This lets your workflows access Google Cloud resources safely and easily, reducing risks and simplifying credential management.

🌎 On the island of Märket in the Baltic Sea, the Finland-Sweden border cuts through a tiny lighthouse. The border was shifted in 1985 so both nations could share the landmark, creating a zigzag international line only 500 meters long. ✨

🌎 The Flannan Isles Lighthouse mystery remains unsolved: in December 1900, three lighthouse keepers disappeared from a remote Scottish island. No bodies or clues to their fate were found, and weather records suggest a sudden storm struck the area. The lighthouse was left locked, with meals untouched and logs stopping abruptly on December 15. ✨
