Creating an extended integration for GCS buckets

Integrate Google Cloud with Oomnitza to gain detailed visibility of Google Cloud Storage buckets across multiple  projects. This integration syncs vital information about each bucket, including timestamp, location and identification information.

This integration offers the flexibility to specify multiple Project IDs, enabling thorough aggregation of buckets across various projects.
