In this section, we will be migrating data from Azure Blob Storage to another Azure container of the same Azure Blob Storage instance, and we will also migrate data to an Azure Gen2 Data Lake instance using an Azure Data Factory pipeline. The following are the steps for creating such an end-to-end solution.
