Google Cloud Storage Create Action

Plugin version: 0.22.0

This plugin creates objects in a Google Cloud Storage bucket. Cloud Storage allows world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data at any time.

Buckets are the basic containers that hold your data. Everything that is stored in Cloud Storage must be contained in a bucket. Buckets are used to organize and control access to data.

Objects are the individual pieces of data that are stored in Cloud Storage. Object names can contain any combination of Unicode characters (UTF-8 encoded) and must be less than 1024 bytes in length. Object names often look like file paths.

Credentials

If the plugin is run on a Google Cloud Dataproc cluster, the service account key does not need to be provided and can be set to 'auto-detect'. Credentials will be automatically read from the cluster environment.

If the plugin is not run on a Dataproc cluster, the path to a service account key must be provided. The service account key can be found on the Dashboard in the Cloud Platform Console. Make sure the account key has permission to access BigQuery and Google Cloud Storage. The service account key file needs to be available on every node in your cluster and must be readable by all users running the job.
