### **Workload Identity Federation**
LiteLLM supports [Google Cloud Workload Identity Federation (WIF)](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/workload-identity-federation), which allows you to grant on-premises or multi-cloud workloads access to Google Cloud resources without using a service account key. This is the recommended approach for workloads running in other cloud environments (AWS, Azure, etc.) or on-premises.
To use Workload Identity Federation, pass the path to your WIF credentials configuration file via `vertex_credentials`:
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="sdk" label="SDK">
```python
from litellm import completion
response = completion(
model="vertex_ai/gemini-1.5-pro",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
vertex_credentials="/path/to/wif-credentials.json", # 👈 WIF credentials file
vertex_project="your-gcp-project-id",
vertex_location="us-central1"
)
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="proxy" label="PROXY">
```yaml
model_list:
- model_name: gemini-model
litellm_params:
model: vertex_ai/gemini-1.5-pro
vertex_project: your-gcp-project-id
vertex_location: us-central1
vertex_credentials: /path/to/wif-credentials.json # 👈 WIF credentials file
```
Alternatively, you can create credentials in **LLM Credentials** in the LiteLLM UI and use those to authenticate your models:
```yaml
model_list:
- model_name: gemini-model
litellm_params:
model: vertex_ai/gemini-1.5-pro
vertex_project: your-gcp-project-id
vertex_location: us-central1
litellm_credential_name: my-vertex-wif-credential # 👈 Reference credential stored in UI
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
**WIF Credentials File Format**
Your WIF credentials JSON file typically looks like this (for AWS federation):
```json
{
"type": "external_account",
"audience": "//iam.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/POOL_ID/providers/PROVIDER_ID",
"subject_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:aws:token-type:aws4_request",
"service_account_impersonation_url": "https://iamcredentials.googleapis.com/v1/projects/-/serviceAccounts/SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL:generateAccessToken",
"token_url": "https://sts.googleapis.com/v1/token",
"credential_source": {
"environment_id": "aws1",
"region_url": "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone",
"url": "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials",
"regional_cred_verification_url": "https://sts.{region}.amazonaws.com?Action=GetCallerIdentity&Version=2011-06-15"
}
}
```
