Leveraging cloud object storage

Cloud object storage has become the cheapest way to store large volumes of data. These storage services have become the foundation for data lakes and lakehouses, which are used for data engineering, data science, and data analysis workloads.

Each cloud service offers its own storage, and you can pick whichever works best for you, but on Azure, the storage service dedicated to big data analytics is called Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS Gen2).

You can follow the directions in the following link to create an ADLS storage account to use throughout this book: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/create-data-lake-storage-account.
