Task 02: Create Lakehouses

Now, let’s see how each department in Contoso can easily create a Lakehouse in their workspace without any provisioning by simply providing the name, given the proper access rights, of course!

1. In the lower left of the navigation pane for the workspace, select Power BI. Then, in the Synapse section, select Data Engineering.

   

   Selecting Data Enginering switches the context from reports and visualizations to data engineering. You should see that the options presented in the left navigation pane change to reflect the change in context.

2. On the Synapse Data Engineering Home page, select the Lakehouse tile.

3. In the Name box, enter bronze and then select Create. The context switches to the bronze page.

   

4. In the lower left of the navigation pane for the bronze page, select Data Engineering.

5. In the Synapse section, select Data Engineering to return to the Synapse Data Engineering Home page.

   This step switches the context from the bronze lakehouse back to the workspace.

6. Repeat steps 2-5 to create two more lakehouses. Use the following names for the new lakehouses:

   Lakehouse Name
   silver
   gold

7. In the left navigation pane for the Synapse Data Engineering Home page, select the name of your workspace. You should see the three Lakehouses and related objects listed.

   

Now you are ready to start data ingestion. You will first ingest the raw data in the bronze layer. After that, you will curate and enrich the data as you move the data to the silver and then gold layer.
