Create a Google Cloud Platform connection to an Edge site

Do you use a vault?

You can use a vault to add your data source information to your Edge site connection. Check the connection property table below to see which information is available for your vault. Vaults are not available for Collibra Cloud site sites.	No vault AWS Secrets Manager Azure Key Vault CyberArk Vault Google Secret Manager HashiCorp Vault

How to use your vault... To use your vault, do the following: In the Value Type field, select Vault Key. Enter the query value to identify the secret in your vault. Example  Note The Query must be a string containing the properties required to identify the secret. Each property must be separated by a semicolon (;). For example: Safe=<SafeName>;Folder=<FolderName>;Object=<ObjectName> If a property is a folder with sub-folders, use a backslash (\) to define the folder path. For example: Folder=Root\Top Secrets\More Secrets For more information about query formats and supported properties, go to the CyberArk Credential Provider documentation. To use your vault, do the following: In the Value Type field, select Vault Key. Enter the required information: Secret Engine Type Select one of the following: Key Value Database Engine Path The engine path to your vault where the value is stored. Secret Path The secret path to your vault where the value is stored. Field If your Secret Engine Type is Key Value, enter the name of the field to your vault where the value is stored.

Prerequisites

• You created and installed an Edge site.
  Note 

  If you have defined an outbound (forward) proxy on your Edge site, the integration will take that configuration into account when connecting to the AI platform. The following proxies are supported:

  • Pass through (No authentication)
  • Pass through (Basic authentication)
  • No proxy for noProxy hosts defined by Edge

  This integration is not supported on Edge sites installed using a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy.

• You have the models you want to ingest evaluated and in your Google Vertex AI model registry.
• You have added a vault to your Edge site.
• You have a global role that has the Manage connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.
• You have the Vertex AI Viewer role with the following Google Vertex AI permissions. For more information, go to the Google Vertex AI access control with IAM documentation.
  • aiplatform.models.list
  • aiplatform.modelEvaluations.list
  Note If your Vertex AI resources are in a different project than the service account that is configured for synchronizations, you must also have the following permission: resourcemanager.projects.get
