Default Connection
The GCP connection type includes an implicit, default connection (connection.gcp.default) that will be configured using the same mechanism as the GCloud CLI (environment variables, config files, etc); the effective connections of this default are the same as if you run the gcloud command. Connections will be loaded from:
- The path specified in the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CONNECTIONS environment variable, if set; otherwise
- The standard location (~/.config/gcloud/application_default_connections.json)
