Google Cloud Storage initial setup

Before you can use GCS Writer in a Striim application, you must perform initial set up steps. These include creating a custom Google Cloud Storage role with permissions on the bucket, assigning the role to a service account you create, and downloading the service account key needed to authenticate the GCS Writer.

  1. Create a custom Google Cloud Storage role with the following permissions on the bucket and assign it to your service account:

    • storage.buckets.create

    • storage.buckets.get

    • storage.objects.create

    • storage.objects.delete
