Starting with HDP 2.6.5, it is possible to configure access to Google Cloud Storage from HDP via the gs cloud storage connector. There are two ways to do this:

- You can use Cloudbreak to deploy clusters on GCP and help you configure access to GCS from your Cloudbreak-managed HDP cluster. The steps involve (1) Setting up a service account on Google Cloud and (2) Providing the Service Account Email Address to Cloudbreak in the cluster create wizard on the Cloud Storage page. For detailed steps, see https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Cloudbreak/Cloudbreak-2.7.1/content/gcp-data/index.html

- It is also possible to configure access to GCS by setting up a service account, manually placing the service account key on all nodes of the cluster, and setting related properties in Ambari. For detailed steps, see https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP3/HDP-3.0.0/bk_cloud-data-access/content/authentication-gcp.html

Note that this capability is currently only available as technical preview.
