# Google Cloud Storage Backend
|
||
|
||
The Google Cloud storage backend is used to persist Vault's data in
|
||
[Google Cloud Storage][gcs].
|
||
|
||
- **No High Availability** – the Google Cloud storage backend does not support
|
||
high availability.
|
||
|
||
- **Community Supported** – the Google Cloud storage backend is supported by the
|
||
community. While it has undergone review by HashiCorp employees, they may not
|
||
be as knowledgeable about the technology. If you encounter problems with them,
|
||
you may be referred to the original author.
|
||
|
||
```hcl
|
||
backend "gcs" {
|
||
bucket = "my-storage-bucket"
|
||
credentials_file = "/tmp/credentials.json"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## `gcs` Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `bucket` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the name of the Google Cloud
|
||
Storage bucket to use. This bucket must already exist and the provided service
|
||
account must have permission to read, write, and delete from the bucket. This
|
||
can also be provided via the environment variable `GOOGLE_STORAGE_BUCKET`.
|
||
|
||
- `credentials_file` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the path on disk to a
|
||
Google Cloud Platform [service account][gcs-service-account] private key file
|
||
in [JSON format][gcs-private-key]. This can also be provided via the
|
||
environment variable `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`.
|
||
|
||
- `max_parallel` `(int: 128)` – Specifies the maximum number of concurrent
|
||
requests.
|
||
|
