However, since the Community Edition has several limitations, like the absence of secret scopes, restricted network access, and limited security features, it often can’t support this type of integration reliably. For full and consistent support, a paid Databricks workspace is required.</P> Fri, 23 May 2025 10:02:25 GMT SP_6721 2025-05-23T10:02:25Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/gcs-databricks-community/m-p/120006#M3393 <P><SPAN>Hello,<BR />I would like to know if it is possible to connect my Databricks community account with a Google cloud storage account via a notebook.<BR />I tried to connect it via the json key of my gcs service account but the notebook always gives this error when I want to connect my bucket<BR />java.io.IOException: Error getting access token from metadata server at: <A href="http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/token" target="_blank">http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/token</A><BR />As if it did not have the necessary permissions.<BR />I would like to know if the problem was related to the limitations of your community version or to something that I obviously cannot unlock.<BR />Thanks in advance for your availability.<BR />Best regards.</SPAN></P> Thu, 22 May 2025 21:25:57 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/gcs-databricks-community/m-p/120006#M3393 oricaruso 2025-05-22T21:25:57Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/gcs-databricks-community/m-p/120055#M3396 <P>Hi&nbsp;<a href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/165494">@oricaruso</a>&nbsp;</P><P>To connect to GCS, you typically need to set the service account JSON key in the cluster’s Spark config, not just in the notebook.
