How to connect to private storage bucket using the Google Colab TPU

Question

I am using google colab pro and the provided TPU. I need to upload a pre-trained model into the TPU.

• TPU can load data only from a google cloud storage bucket.

Answer 1

As stated in the public documentation in order to find the service account of your Colab TPU you just need to replace the project number in the following mail address:

 service-[PROJECT_NUMBER]@cloud-tpu.iam.gserviceaccount.com

You can find your project number in the dashboard of your Google Cloud Project

After doing this you should set the access to your bucket as fine-grained access and provide access for this this account in the ACL of your bucket
