Reference documentation and code samples for the Dataplex V1 API class Google::Cloud::Dataplex::V1::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.
(::String) — Output only. The relative resource name of the lake, of the form:
projects/{project_number}/locations/{location_id}/lakes/{lake_id}.
#service_account
defservice_account()->::String
Returns
(::String) — Output only. Service account associated with this lake. This service
account must be authorized to access or operate on resources managed by the
lake.
(::String) — Output only. System generated globally unique ID for the lake. This ID will
be different if the lake is deleted and re-created with the same name.
