Google Cloud Storage
Google Cloud Storage is a service for storing objects in Google Cloud. An object is an immutable piece of data consisting of a file of any format.
If you select Google Cloud Storage from the Storage section, configure the following details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Display name | Enter the name to be displayed. |
| Bucket name | Enter the bucket name. |
| Endpoint | The default endpoint is selected. |
| Upload JSON key file (.json) | Upload the JSON key file. |
| Connection Status | Click the Test connection link to test the bucket connection. If the bucket connection is successful, a success message appears. |
| Associate Catalog | Enable the toggle switch to add a catalog for your storage. This catalog is associated with your storage and serves as your query interface with the data stored within. |
| Catalog type | Select the catalog type from the list. The supported catalogs are Apache Iceberg and Apache Hive. |
| Catalog name | Enter the name of your catalog. |
| Base path (optional) Note: This field is available only in the watsonx.data Lite instance. This field appears only when you select Apache Iceberg as the catalog type. |
Enter the base path for the catalog in the object storage. This allows you to associate multiple Iceberg catalogs with a single storage. Note: You cannot share a storage between Iceberg and non-Iceberg catalogs. |
| Associate | Click Associate to create the storage. |
For Google Cloud Storage, multiple buckets of different service accounts cannot be configured.
If Google Cloud Storage is already inactive in old instances, the system will display the Activate button. Once you activate Google Cloud Storage, the system will automatically remove the Activate button.
