Here’s how you can create an ADLS Gen 2 Storage for Azure Data Lake!
Resource Group and Storage Account
In case you don’t have a Resource Group already, create one and have all the new Resources including this Storage Account also in this new one.
- I have a blank Resource Group called Jan 2023. It is blank and hence, I’ll start by creating Azure Storage in the same.
When in the Resource Group, look for + Create button and it’ll take you to the Marketplace to create Storage Account. - Once in Marketplace, search for “Storage Account” and you’ll see one by Microsoft as below. Click on Create.
- Once you click on Create (it may expand and let you click on Storage Account action – redundant, but it is what it is)
Then, enter all the details, make sure the correct Resource Group is selected and give a name (no special characters and it has to be in small caps) to the Storage Account. - Once I click on Next: Advanced, look for Data Lake Gen 2 area in Advanced tab (which would be disabled by default).
Click on Enable Hierarchical namespace to make it Gen 2 - Make sure you have checked Enable hierarchical namespace option.
Finally, review all the options you may have made. I’ve not changed anything else to keep it within the context of this blog.
Then, once the button is enabled. - On the final page, it might take a few moments for the Create button to appear. Once everything looks good, click on Create.
- It’ll start deployment as any other resource in Azure and you’ll know once it’s completed.
- And this will complete in a few moments.
- Once this is completed, you can also check in Azure Storage Explorer
Below is how it’ll appear in the Azure Storage Explorer.
In case you are looking to setup and use Azure Storage Explorer, you can check this post – Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer | Getting Started
And your Gen 2 Storage for Data Lake is created.
Hope this helps!
