Description: Metadata analysis is the process of examining the metadata associated with objects stored in cloud storage services such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. Metadata is data that describes other data, providing crucial information about the content, structure, and context of the objects. Metadata can include details such as file size, creation date, content type, and custom tags. This analysis allows organizations to manage and organize their data more efficiently, facilitating the search, access, and retrieval of information. Furthermore, metadata analysis is fundamental for data governance, as it helps ensure that data complies with regulations and security policies. In the context of Data Lakes, metadata analysis becomes even more critical, as these environments often contain large volumes of unstructured data. Therefore, a clear understanding of metadata enables data engineers and data scientists to extract value from stored data, optimizing resource use and improving data-driven decision-making.
