Description

To generate a Google Storage blobstore, user needs to pass credentials composed of identity and private key.

However, when running the application inside a Google Cloud environment (Compute Engine, Dataproc, etc.) these credentials are not available and suitable creadentials can be fetched through Application Default Credentials library.

This bug prevents anyone to use the GCS blobstore inside GCP environment as already reported on StackOverflow.
