Uploading files to Google Cloud Storage bucket fails with "Failed to perform blobstore operation after three retries"

Products

• VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs

Issue/Introduction

If you are trying to push large application or buildpack and using external Google Cloud blobstore it may fail with "Failed to perform blobstore operation after three retries"

This is due to issue where using Service Account is used while uploading large files: https://github.com/fog/fog-google/issues/323

Environment

Product Version: 2.8

Resolution

The workaround is to use External Google Cloud Storage with Access Key and Secret Key option instead of Service Account.
