Storage buckets and service accounts for logs, backups, and data storage

Cloudera requires that you pre-create and provide buckets for logs and data storage and create service accounts controlling access to them.

• If you would like to use encryption, use a Google-managed key.

In addition to the two Google storage buckets, you should create multiple service accounts and assign roles as described in the following documentation:
