Connecting Steampipe through Google BigQuery

Trying to access the general metadata around your cloud deployment is something that’s incredibly useful when it comes to analyzing your overall cloud footprint. If you’re a Google Cloud user, a lot of this is already simplified as most applications typically export directly to BigQuery. For example, your billing data can be easily exported to BigQuery. Your general logs can be exported to BigQuery. Even your carbon footprint can be exported to BigQuery. When it comes to accessing your deployment assets, the options get pretty interesting. That’s when Steampipe comes into play.
