Containers

A Container represents a storage bucket or directory (e.g., an S3 bucket, GCS bucket, or ADLS container). Containers belong to a Storage Service and can be nested to represent folder hierarchies.

Entity schema follows the OpenMetadata Standard.

Entity Hierarchy

Containers belong to a Storage Service and can be nested:

StorageService
└── Container (this page)
    └── Container (nested child)

Fully Qualified Name

The FQN format for a container is:

service.containerName

For nested containers:

service.parentContainer.childContainer

For example: s3_datalake.analytics-bucket or s3_datalake.analytics-bucket.raw-data
