## Synopsis

- The Buckets resource represents a bucket in Google Cloud Storage. There is a single global namespace shared by all buckets. For more information, see Bucket Name Requirements.

- Buckets contain objects which can be accessed by their own methods. In addition to the acl property, buckets contain bucketAccessControls, for use in fine-grained manipulation of an existing bucket’s access controls.

- A bucket is always owned by the project team owners group.

## Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- python >= 2.6

- requests >= 2.18.4

- google-auth >= 1.3.0

## Notes

Note

- for authentication, you can set service_account_file using the c(gcp_service_account_file) env variable.

- for authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the c(GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTS) env variable.

- For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the `GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL` env variable.

- For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the `GCP_AUTH_KIND` env variable.

- For authentication, you can set scopes using the `GCP_SCOPES` env variable.
