?? Understanding Azure Data Storage: Blob Storage, Data Lake Storage, and Delta Lake ??

As data professionals, it's crucial to understand the various Azure storage options available for our projects. Here’s a quick overview and comparison:

• Azure Blob Storage Purpose: Object storage for unstructured data.

Use Cases: Static content, backups, big data analytics.

• Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Purpose: Big data analytics with hierarchical namespaces.

Use Cases: Big data workloads, machine learning, analytics.

• Delta Lake Purpose: ACID transactions on big data with Parquet storage.

Use Cases: Reliable data lakes with transactional guarantees, versioning.

Key Differences:

• Blob Storage: Flat namespace, no schema, general-purpose.
• ADLS: Hierarchical namespace, enhanced data management.
• Delta Lake: ACID transactions, real-time processing, versioning.
