In this post, I provide an overview and examples of creating datasets from files stored in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage. I also explore the new capabilities with centralized file storage that enables the ability to schedule periodic reloads of the data stored in Object Storage. I review the creation of an OCI Resource connection including the creation of a dataset using the new connection, using the new UI to search and navigate the compartments, buckets, and objects, and creating datasets based on some files. Finally, I describe how you can manually reload or schedule a periodic reload of the dataset by updating files in Object Storage.
