Set up environment variables for gcloud tool to import export data using Cloud Filestore

Question

How to set the environment variables for gcloud tool to import/export data using Cloud Filestore?

Answer 1

Before you export or import data, you must set up environment variables for the gcloud tool and authenticate using your user account.

1. Set an environment variable for your GCP project ID.

   PROJECT_ID="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"

2. Use this variable to set your project as the active configuration for the gcloud tool.

   gcloud config set project ${PROJECT_ID}

3. Authenticate using the gcloud tool.

   gcloud auth login

4. Set an environment variable for your Cloud Storage bucket ID.

   BUCKET="YOUR_BUCKET_NAME[/NAMESPACE_PATH]"

   where YOUR_BUCKET_NAME is the name of the Cloud Storage bucket and NAMESPACE_PATH is an optional Cloud Storage namespace path (this is not a Datastore mode namespace).
