Before you begin
To enable and disable the Dataplex API, you need the Owner Editor role. For more information about roles and permissions, see Access control with IAM.
Enable Dataplex
You can use an existing project with Dataplex or create a new one. In both cases, you need to enable the Dataplex API. We recommended that you create a new project.
To keep resources created by the lake within your project, separate from one another, create a project per lake instance.
To create a project and enable Dataplex, follow these steps:
- In the Google Cloud console, select or create a project.
- Make sure that billing is enabled for your project.
-
Enable the Dataplex, Dataproc, Dataproc Metastore, and Data Catalog APIs.
Disable Dataplex
To avoid additional charges, complete the following steps before you disable Dataplex.
In the Google Cloud console, delete each lake instance in your project. To delete a lake, you must first delete the individual assets and zones. For more information, see Delete a lake.
Select the project to disable the Dataplex API in.
