This is the recommended and more secure method to integrate Bigquery with Unravel. A service account is created in the project in which Unravel is hosted. Instead of downloading the service account key, the service account is attached to the Unravel VM. This is ideal when the VM is hosted on the GCP compute engine service. | In this method of integration, Unravel VM is outside the GCP environment. Only one service account key representing all the projects is integrated with Unravel, which is downloaded and used. This method is ideal for Unravel SaaS or in cases where the VM is hosted on any other cloud/on-prem environment. | In this method of integration, Unravel VM can be hosted either on the GCP environment or on any other cloud/on-prem environment. Each project that is integrated with Unravel has one service account key that is downloaded by Unravel. This is ideal in cases where the VM is hosted on other cloud/on-prem environments. |
