<p>We deploy a laravel project in k8s(GCP) with mysql database. Now i want time to time backup of this database with the help of cronjob and I followed an <a href="https://medium.com/searce/cronjob-to-backup-mysql-on-gke-23bb706d9bbf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">articles</a>  but i'm unable to create a backup file. However, as per article we need to create the storage bucket and service account in <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/7378726?hl=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GCP</a>    </p>

<p>It is working properly still there is no backup file in storage bucket.</p>

<p>cronjob.yaml file</p>
