GCP account requirements

When Cloudera Operational Database is deployed, it uses resources from your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) subscription that are registered for an environment in the Cloudera Management Console.

You must first read the Cloudera Management Console documentation to understand the basic GCP requirements before you can deploy a Cloudera Operational Database.

If you are using the HBase Java API and Phoenix Thick JDBC driver, you must configure an edge node to access data in your operational database instance. This configuration step is necessary to ensure that you can query data that is stored in your Cloudera Operational Database. See the related information section for more information.
