Develop a custom Python script that utilizes the BigQuery API to execute queries. This script should be executed as the first step in your Kubeflow pipeline, with the results passed to the next step.

Manually execute the query using the BigQuery console, save the results into a new BigQuery table, and then configure your pipeline to read from this table.

Create a custom component using the Kubeflow Pipelines domain-specific language (DSL) that leverages the Python BigQuery client library to perform the query operation.

Locate the BigQuery Query Component in the Kubeflow Pipelines GitHub repository, use its URL to import the component into your pipeline, and configure it to execute your query.
