Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 is a set of capabilities dedicated to big data analytics, built into Azure Blob storage. It allows you to interface with your data using both file system and object storage paradigms.

Azure Data Factory (ADF) is a fully managed cloud-based data integration service. You can use the service to populate the lake with data from a rich set of on-premises and cloud-based data stores and save time when building your analytics solutions. For a detailed list of supported connectors, see the table of Supported data stores.

Azure Data Factory offers a scale-out, managed data movement solution. Due to the scale-out architecture of ADF, it can ingest data at a high throughput. For details, see Copy activity performance.

This article shows you how to use the Data Factory Copy Data tool to load data from Amazon Web Services S3 service into Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. You can follow similar steps to copy data from other types of data stores.

Tip

For copying data from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 into Gen2, refer to this specific walkthrough.

Prerequisites

  • Azure subscription: If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
