Creating a Flex template

To run a template, you need to create a template spec file containing all the necessary information to run the job, such as the SDK information and metadata.

The metadata.json file contains additional information for the template such as the "name", "description" and input "parameters" fields.

The template file must be created in a Cloud Storage location, and is used to run a new Dataflow job.
