• Storage accounts, containers, and blob hierarchy in Azure
• Folder structures and naming conventions for data lakes
• Date-based partitioning: organizing data by year/month/day for efficient querying
• Uploading and downloading files using the Azure portal and CLI
• Access control: shared access signatures (SAS), access keys, and RBAC
• File formats in the data lake: Parquet, CSV, JSON and when to use each
• Cost considerations: storage tiers (hot, cool, archive) and data lifecycle
• Connecting to ADLS from Python using the Azure SDK
