Registering a GCP credential in Cloudera

Once you have created a service account and generated a JSON access key in GCP, register the access key as a credential in GCP.

Before registering a GCP credential in Cloudera, you should create a service account in Google Cloud and assign the required permissions. Next, you must generate a JSON access key for the service account. See Service account for the provisioning credential. Once you have the JSON access key, follow these steps to register the Google Cloud credential in Cloudera.
