Multiple Storage Accounts for a Data lake

Question

All,

We are thinking of implementing the Zones using Storage Accounts. Which means, each of the 3 Zones (RAW, Staged, Curated) will have one Storage Account each.

Are there any best practice document? Is it normal to have more than one Storage Account per Data Lake?

Thanks,
grajee

@destop to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Adding more information to the above response! Yes, this is one of the ways raw/bronze, staged/silver, curated/gold layers can be implemented. It is, for example, mentioned in adlsguidancedoc/Hitchhikers_Guide_to_the_Datalake.md at master · rukmani-msft/adlsguidancedoc (github.com)

Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
