GCP Cloud storage using Google Workload Identity federation support for IBM Fusion- Backup and restore as backup backend

We need enormous amount of storage to host backup data from CP4AIOPS and Openshift Virtualisation and we are running out of Onprem storage . We have GCP storage available to us but it needs authenication via Workload Identity Federation . I can see that OADP support GCP usign WIF . It would be very helpful if you can port this functionality to IBM fusion Backup and Restore.
