Google Cloud Storage Repository Plugin

The GCS repository plugin adds support for using the Google Cloud Storage service as a repository for Snapshot/Restore.

This plugin can be installed using the plugin manager:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install repository-gcs

The plugin must be installed on every node in the cluster, and each node must be restarted after installation.

You can download this plugin for offline install from https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/repository-gcs/repository-gcs-7.17.26.zip. To verify the .zip file, use the SHA hash or ASC key.

The plugin can be removed with the following command:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove repository-gcs

The node must be stopped before removing the plugin.
