Required. The root path of the Cloud Storage bucket to export the metadata to, in the formatgs://{bucket}/. You can optionally specify a custom prefix after the bucket name, in the formatgs://{bucket}/{prefix}/. The maximum length of the custom prefix is 128 characters. Dataplex constructs the object path for the exported files by using the bucket name and prefix that you provide, followed by a system-generated path. The bucket must be in the same VPC Service Controls perimeter as the job.
