Google Cloud Tasks¶

Cloud Tasks is a fully managed service that allows you to manage the execution, dispatch, and delivery of a large number of distributed tasks. Using Cloud Tasks, you can perform work asynchronously outside of a user or service-to-service request.

For more information about the service visit Cloud Tasks product documentation

Prerequisite Tasks¶

To use these operators, you must do a few things:

Select or create a Cloud Platform project using the Cloud Console.

Enable the API, as described in the Cloud Console documentation.
Install API libraries via pip.
pip install 'apache-airflow[google]'
Detailed information is available for Installation.
Setup a Google Cloud Connection.
