Implement POSIX-like ACLs for Data Lake Storage Gen2

“

- [Instructor] We've mentioned that ADLS Gen2 has true file system, a hierarchical file system, where you create these file systems with directories, and it uses that UNIX, Linux, POSIX access control list. And this gives you the benefit in your data lake to provide fine-grained security, right down to the individual file and folder level. That is not something you can do in Azure storage blob storage, there it's, in a very real way, it's all or nothing with regard to your blob service. So from a design slash implementation standpoint, if you have need to protect certain file resources right down to the directory or file level, that would be a deciding point for you to choose DLS rather than the blob service.
