The Export to Data Lake service enables continuous replication of Common Data Service entity data to Azure Data Lake, which can then be used to run analytics, such as Power BI reporting, machine learning, data warehousing, or other downstream integration purposes. It simplifies the technical and administrative complexity of operationalizing entities for analytics and managing schema and data. Within a matter of minutes, you will be able to link a Common Data Service environment to a data lake in your Azure subscription, select standard or custom entities, and export it to Data Lake. Any data or metadata changes (initial and incremental) in Common Data Service is automatically pushed to the lake without any additional actions.

This service also empowers our first party AI apps (Customer Insights, Sales Insights, CCA, and AI Builder, etc.) by continuously pushing Common Data Service data to the Azure Data Lake.

In 2020 release wave 1, we are making additional investments to increase Enterprise adoption.
