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 their access.

You must create two Google storage buckets:
  • One for logs.
  • Optionally, you can also create a bucket for storing FreeIPA backups.
The buckets should fulfill the following requirements:
  • For best performance, create the buckets in the same region as the VPC.
  • If you want to use encryption, use a Google-managed key.
