Support for Kubeflow Pipelines CI/CD on ppc64le without GCP Access

[valen-mascarenhas14]

We are contributing to the Kubeflow Pipelines (KFP) project by enabling CI/CD support for the ppc64le architecture. As part of this effort, we had created this issue and are focusing on enabling the kubeflow-pipeline-e2e-test job. However, we are facing challenges due to our inability to access Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services from our IBM environment.

Background:
GCP is currently integral to the overall CI/CD setup for Kubeflow Pipelines. It provides infrastructure for deployment, authentication, storage, build processes, Kubernetes cluster management, and workload identity. The configuration and scripts leverage various GCP services such as:
Google Cloud Storage (GCS) for storing build artifacts and test results.
Google Cloud Build for building and testing Docker images.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for managing Kubernetes clusters.
Google Cloud IAM for managing permissions and service accounts.
Google Cloud SDK and CLI used as base images in many Dockerfiles.

Any guidance or recommendations on how to proceed without gcloud would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for your support & guidance .
