Google Cloud

You can define a Google Cloud credential in several ways.

  • Supplying the path to a credential json file
  • Putting the json credential inline in the configs
  • Manually defining the required attributes

Provide a credential via file (path to a JSON key), json (inline JSON), or by setting the individual fields (type, client_email, private_key_id, private_key, auth_uri, token_uri, project_id, location_id). The full field list is in the GoogleCredential reference.

Note consider using the managed variable store or your own secrets management for the private key.
