OneLake - The OneDrive for Data
As you begin using Fabric, it's essential to have a central location for your data. OneLake serves as that unified destination, and in this podcast episode, we explore the core features of OneLake and its benefits with our guest, Mariano Kovo. We'll also dive into the importance of how your data is presented to Azure services, focusing on the Delta Parquet format. With the ability to process vast amounts of data from diverse sources, OneLake provides a single, consolidated repository for all your data.
Did you know you can explore OneLake data directly through Windows Explorer? Microsoft aims to make a single copy of your data accessible to multiple services, eliminating the need for constant data movement. Shortcuts enhance this by enabling seamless access to all your data within the OneLake environment.
We hope you enjoy this foundational episode on Microsoft OneLake! If you have questions or comments, please send them our way. We would love to answer your questions on a future episode. Leave us a comment and some love ❤️ on LinkedIn, X, Facebook, or Instagram. Thank you for listening!
Ultimately, it will give you the capacity to query or go to bring data from different sources without moving it first or processing them, so it’s a good thing. Not for everybody, I think, but it’s a good idea.
