How to Create Microsoft Azure Account.

There are two ways in which we can connect to Azure Account:-

  • Azure Data Lake Storage:-
  • Azure Blob Storage:-

Difference Between Azure Blob and DataLake:-

  • The structure of Datalake storage is Hierarchical file system where as the structure of Blob storage is object that stores flat namespace
  • The main purpose of DataLake storage is Optimized storage for big data analytics workloads where as for Blob Storage is General purpose object store for a wide variety of storage scenarios, including big data analytics
  • Data Lake Storage account contains folders, which in turn contains data stored as files where as Blob Storage account has containers, which in turn has data in the form of blobs
  • Both DataLake Storage and Blob Storage uses REST API over HTTPS.
  • In DataLake Storage there is no limits on account sizes, file sizes, or number of files where as in Blob Storage there are some restriction on account sizes, file sizes, or number of files.
