Describe the request

• GCP should be a first class citizen in AppFramework.

Currently, an administrator running Splunk with the operator on GCP needs to use the minio provider to talk to GCS.

This is deficient for a couple of reasons:

1. Minio requires AWS style HMAC access keys to be provisioned and stored as a k8s secret.
   1.1. In secure environments on GCP, Workload Identity + Application Default Credentials is preferred.
2. Documentation around GCP support is poor and setup instructions are not clear.

Expected behavior

• GCP should become a first class citizen in AppFramework with tight integration into Workload Identity + ADC.
