OneLake

It’s a single data lake for your organisation’s data. It is deployed automatically with every Microsoft Fabric tenant and acts as the central repository for all the organisation’s analytics data.

As we saw in Fabric terminology, OneLake accepts every file format, whether structured, semi-structured or unstructured. It also lets different analytics engines use the same data without moving or duplicating it.

The main benefits of OneLake are:

• A single shared data lake for all company data
• Easy collaboration and shared data ownership: you can create workspaces and let different people manage their own data or share others’
• No data lock-in, because it’s built on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, which is compatible with most analytics systems
• Easy to navigate
