Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Dataplex v1 API class Lake.
A lake is a centralized repository for managing enterprise data across the
organization distributed across many cloud projects, and stored in a variety
of storage services such as Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery. The resources
attached to a lake are referred to as managed resources. Data within these
managed resources can be structured or unstructured. A lake provides data
admins with tools to organize, secure and manage their data at scale, and
provides data scientists and data engineers an integrated experience to
easily search, discover, analyze and transform data and associated metadata.
