🎉 What’s new

Integrate Atlan with Google BigQuery based on Workload Identity Federation authentication.

Previously, connecting Atlan to BigQuery required generating, downloading, and manually rotating static service account keys—a process that created potential security vulnerabilities and maintenance debt. Now, you can establish a "keyless" trust relationship between Atlan and Google Cloud, allowing for secure, short-lived authentication that adheres to zero-trust security principles.

✨ Let’s dig deeper

• Use Atlan’s OIDC provider to issue identity-based tokens that are automatically exchanged for temporary GCP credentials.
• Eliminate the need for manual key rotation or storage of sensitive JSON files.
• Scope permissions specifically to designated service accounts using GCP’s IAM impersonation.

👏 Give it a shot

1. Establish trust between your GCP account and Atlan's OIDC provider by following these steps.
2. Navigate to your Atlan BigQuery workflow settings and select Workload Identity Federation as the authentication method. More details here.
