 === Configuring a GCP cluster to use short-term credentials
 
-To install a cluster that is configured to use GCP Workload Identity, you must configure the CCO utility and create the required GCP resources for your cluster.
+To install a cluster that is configured to use {gcp-short} Workload Identity, you must configure the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) utility and create the required {gcp-short} resources for your cluster. Cluster Operators use the credentials created by the CCO. The installation program does not use these credentials.
