title: Azure Data Lake Gen 1 vs Gen 2
body: <p>Recently Azure <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-simplifies-cloud-analytics/" rel="noreferrer">announced</a> Data Lake Gen 2 preview. As far as I know the main difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2  (in terms of functionality) is the Object Store and File System access over the same data at the same time. Other differences would be the price, available location etc. Can anyone explain what are the other key differences between Gen 1 and Gen 2?</p>
