is there way to mount or map the Azure datalake (ADLS gen2) like local drive to SAS studio and access the azure data through it for data analytics?

Answer 1

Hello @Prakash14 ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Unfortuntaley, it's not possible to mount ADLS gen2 as a local drive to SAS studio.

Note: Azure Data Lake Gen2 allows you to manage and access data just as you would with a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). The new ABFS driver (used to access data) is available within all Apache Hadoop environments. These environments include Azure HDInsight, Azure Databricks, and Azure Synapse Analytics.

It's recommended to use Azure HDInsight, Databricks and Synapse Analytics to process and analyze data ADLS Gen2.

The following table recommends tools that you can use to ingest, analyze, visualize, and download data. Use the links in this table to find guidance about how to configure and use each tool.

For more details, refer to Best practices for using Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 and you may checkout the SAS-studio-and-ADLS-Gen2-setup addressing similar issue.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
