James Morantus hits us with a blast from the past:
Microsoft Fabric OneLake shortcuts facilitate the virtualization of data from various cloud object stores and on-premises environments. For on-premises sources like Cloudera/Apache Ozone, the OneLake S3 Compatible Shortcut can be utilized to connect to these data sources. With OneLake Shortcuts, users can create a virtual reference to their Cloudera cluster data without moving or duplicating the data. To learn more about Fabric OneLake shortcuts, reference this blog OneLake with shortcuts.
