Notes
Note
- for authentication, you can set service_account_file using the 
gcp_service_account_fileenv variable. - for authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the 
GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTSenv variable. - For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the 
GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAILenv variable. - For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the
