## Prepare Data Assets
At the time of writing, the only kind of [data assets](/concepts/terminology/#asset-or-data-asset) supported by Ocean Protocol were datasets stored in Azure Storage. See [the tutorial about setting up Azure Storage to work with Ocean Protocol](/tutorials/azure-for-brizo/).
Support for other kinds of data assets (e.g. storage in AWS, computing in Azure) is coming soon.
## Develop a Marketplace App ## Develop a Marketplace App
An Ocean marketplace app is one of the primary ways that end users use the Ocean network. For example, a data scientist could use a marketplace app to see what data sets and data services (data assets) a marketplace has on offer. They can use the marketplace app to buy access to assets. Publishers make those data assets available. An Ocean marketplace app is one of the primary ways that end users use the Ocean network.
