Integrating with data sources services on Google Cloud Platform
You can configure an integration with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to allow IBM watsonx users to access data sources from GCP. Before proceeding, make sure you have required permissions.
After you configure an integration, you'll see it under Service instances. For example, you'll see a new GCP tab that lists your BigQuery data sets and Storage buckets.
Open your project and then click CREATE SERVICE ACCOUNT.1. Specify a name and description for the new service account and click CREATE. Specify other options as desired and click DONE.1. Click
the actions menu next to the service instance and select Create key. For key type, select JSON and then click CREATE. The JSON key file will be downloaded to your machine.
Important: Write down your key ID and secret and store them in a sStore the key file in a secure location.
In IBM watsonx, under Administrator > Cloud integrations, go to the GCP tab, enable integration, and then paste the contents from the JSON key file into the text field. Only certain properties from the
JSON will be stored, and the private_key property will be encrypted.
Go back to Google Cloud Platform and edit the service account you created previously. Add the following roles:
Confirm that you can see your GCP services. From the main menu, choose Administration > Services > Services instances. Click the GCP tab to see those services, for example, BigQuery data sets and Storage
buckets.
Now users who have credentials to your GCP services can can create connections to them by selecting them on the Add connection page. Then they can access data from those connections
by creating connected data assets.
