I am using a managed/hosted ES cluster in [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) I want to register a GCS repository using **my own bucket**. I suppose at some point in time throughout the registration process, I will have to pass the `json` document holding the private key of the GCP service account to be used. I could not find such a step during the registration proces. Is there any documentation on how to register own buckets as offsite repos? ---
