Precautions
If you log on to the DataWorks console as a RAM user, you may not be able to view specific features in the DataWorks console, or an error may be reported when you use a feature in the DataWorks console. In this case, you must check whether the RAM user that you use is granted the required permissions. For more information, see Manage permissions on the DataWorks services and the entities in the DataWorks console by using RAM policies.
The lists of DataWorks workspaces and resource groups vary based on the selected region. Before you use a DataWorks workspace or a resource group, switch to the required region.

Lake and Warehouse Integration (Data Lakehouse)
The lakehouse solution is implemented by integrating MaxCompute with a Hadoop cluster or integrating MaxCompute with Data Lake Formation (DLF) and Object Storage Service (OSS). The lakehouse solution allows you to build a data management platform that integrates data lakes and data warehouses. The lakehouse solution integrates the flexibility and broad ecosystem compatibility of data lakes with the enterprise-class deployment capabilities of data warehouses. For more information, see Lakehouse of MaxCompute.
