Connect to Google Cloud Storage

This topic describes how to connect to Google Cloud Storage (GCS) from Domino. You must have network connectivity between GCS and your Domino deployment.

The easiest way to connect to a GCS instance from Domino is to create a Domino Data Source as described below.

Create a Google Cloud Storage Data Source

  1. From the navigation pane, click Data > Data Sources.

  2. Click Create a Data Source.

  3. In the New Data Source window, from Select Data Store, select GCS for Google Cloud Storage.

  4. Enter the name of the Bucket.

  5. Enter the Data Source Name.

    Note
    		 Although Google Cloud allows storage bucket names that include underscores, Domino only allows lowercase letters, numbers, periods, and hyphens.

  6. Optional: Enter a Description to explain the purpose of the Data Source to others.

  7. Click Next.

  8. Copy the Private Key (JSON format). See creating a service account for instructions about creating a service account and downloading the JSON credentials file. You must copy the entire content of the file. The Domino secret store backed by HashiCorp Vault securely stores the credentials.

  9. Click Test Credentials.

  10. If the Data Source authenticates, click Next.

  11. Select who can view and use the Data Source in projects.

  12. Click Finish Setup.
