This page explains how to enable or disable Dataplex for your Google Cloud project. For information about Service Usage on Google Cloud, see Enabling and disabling services.
Before you begin
Before using Dataplex, you must create a Google Cloud project and enable billing.
To enable and disable the Dataplex API, you must have the Owner Editor role. For more information about roles and permissions, see Access control.
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:
- 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.
Select the project to disable the Dataplex API in.
Go to the Enabled APIs & services page.
Click Cloud Dataplex API.
Click Disable API. Confirm when prompted.
Repeat the previous steps to disable the following APIs:
- Data Catalog API
- Data Lineage API (if enabled)
