# Dataplex Environment

A Dataplex Environment in Google Cloud is a managed compute resource that provides the infrastructure for running data processing tasks, notebooks, and analytics within Dataplex. It offers preconfigured execution environments with security, networking, and data access controls, enabling users to explore, transform, and analyze data stored across lakes, zones, and assets in a governed and scalable way.
