Native support for Google Cloud Storage (GCS)

[Mohamed Amine Doghri (doghrim)]

Hi,

I am currently looking into deploying OpenCTI on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and I would like to utilize Google Cloud Storage (GCS) as the primary storage backend for files and artifacts.

While I am aware that OpenCTI currently relies on the S3-compatible API (typically via MinIO or AWS S3), I haven't found explicit documentation regarding native GCS support.

I have a few questions regarding this:

Current Support: Is GCS currently supported through any specific configuration parameters (perhaps via the S3 interoperability layer)? If so, could you provide an example of the required environment variables?

Roadmap: If native support is not yet available, is there a feature request already in progress or planned for future releases?

Workarounds: For those running OpenCTI on GCP, do you recommend continuing with a MinIO gateway or is there a preferred architectural approach to stay as "cloud-native" as possible?

Native GCS support would be a great addition for users deeply integrated into the GCP ecosystem, reducing the overhead of managing a separate MinIO instance.

Thanks
