Get or Create Bucket

Retrieves an existing Google Cloud Storage bucket by name, or creates it if it does not exist.

Purpose

Use this task to ensure a Google Cloud Storage bucket is available before performing file operations. If the named bucket already exists it is returned without modification; if it does not exist the task creates it in the specified project.
