Datalake Gen2 it says File size limit 5 TB

[brijrajsingh]

the document says "No limits on account sizes or number of files. File size limited to 5TB." for Data lake gen 2, while Data lake gen2 landing page says "Your Data Lake Store can store trillions of files where a single file can be greater than a petabyte in size which is 200x larger than other cloud stores". How can both be true.

Thanks for raising this @brijrajsingh. This page (https://azure.microsoft.com/solutions/data-lake/) refers to Data Lake Storage Gen1 which is a dedicated service separate from Storage. The file size shown on that page is accurate for that service. The upgrade article refers to limits for Data Lake Storage Gen2. The 5T file limit mentioned is accurate in that context. The top level page for Data Lake Storage Gen2 is here - https://azure.microsoft.com/services/storage/data-lake-storage/. Hope that clarifies a bit. Thanks again!
