Summary
In this chapter, we talked about one of the main components of any modern data warehouse architecture: Data Lake Storage. You learned how to provision Data Lake Storage Gen2 on the Azure portal.
We discussed how to organize a data lake from different angles and examined the zones and folder structures that you will need to implement for efficient usage. We also learned how to implement a data model in Data Lake Storage.
After that, we looked at the administrative side of the Data Lake storage account and talked about monitoring, backups, access control, and networking.
The Data Lake Storage account is not the only component in your modern data warehouse Architecture that will hold data for analysis. Stay tuned for the next chapter, where we will shed some light on the relational database components that we can add to the architecture.
