1) We can also add the restore option as a difference between containers and folders?

My customer is looking to compare folder vs container to take the decision when to use what. In their case the Data Lake is global to the whole enterprise and divided in several common zones. Then each zone is divided per entity and project. the question is at the project level should they use a container or folder. Among the points described in this documentation there is also the restore option: the restore is at container level. which apply if they use the same container for 2 different projects, and if 1 project needs to restore then they should do it manually and extracts the folder to be restored.

Then the second question is regarding the performance: using containers or folders does this make any difference regarding the performance of Read/Write?
