Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS) is a cloud-based repository for both structured and unstructured data. For example, you could use it to store everything from documents to images to social media streams Data Lake Storage Gen2 is built on top of Blob Storage This gives you the best of both worlds.
