GCS Reader component typically designed to read data from Google Cloud Storage (GCS), which is a cloud-based object storage service provided by Google Cloud Platform. A GCS Reader can be a part of an application or system that needs to access data stored in GCS buckets. It allows you to retrieve, read, and process data from GCS, making it accessible for various use cases, such as data analysis, data processing, backups, and more.
GCS Reader pulls data from the GCS Monitor, so the first step is to implement GCS Monitor.
Note: The users can refer to the GCS Monitor section of this document for the details.
All component configurations are classified broadly into the following sections:
