# Google Cloud

Connect or operate business workloads that use Google Cloud while bapX remains the hosted control and coordination layer.

## How it fits into bapX

Google Cloud is a **Hosting and infrastructure** connection. It belongs to a business and is scoped to approved projects, people, agents, and automations. Manage ownership and credentials in Platform; use MCP permissions when the capability is exposed through an MCP server or tool.

## Credentials and access

- Bring external-provider credentials when required.
- Keep secrets out of source files, Markdown, and chat messages.
- Grant only the agents, automations, and people that need access.

## Availability

Self-service controls are being enabled incrementally in Platform. Until the control appears in your business workspace, contact the bapX team instead of installing an internal bapX package or CLI.
