Data lake gen2 supports File Shares which can be mounted directly on linux. It has different levels of performance and of course different levels of cost. I found it to be too slow to use in Geoserver directly. The only VMs I found useful to Geoserver in Azure are those with Ephemeral drives. So, I store data that is used on daily basis in the ephemeral drive and older data on the file share.

The data consists of mosaics of GeoTIFF images stored on the web server file system. Now I need to port the architecture on Azure platform. I need to persist my raster files on an Azure Data Lake Gen2 instance. I know that there are many possible solutions for the GeoServer deployment on Azure (VM, container, AppService, etc), but I can't find a way to connect GeoServer to the storage. I think I can set up a virtual machine using Azure services to deploy GeoServer and duplicate raster files on the VM's file system but I'd like to connect Geoserver to Azure Data Lake directly. After some research, I found this plugin<https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/gwc-azure-blob/index.html> for BlobStores but I don't think that's what I need for my use case. I found that it is possible to read files from Amazon S3 buckets<https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/s3-geotiff/index.html>, but I didn't find a similar solution for Azure. I also found this solution<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Geotiff-hosted-Azure-Blob-Storage-to-be-used-as-mosaic-td5407706.html> but it works with Azure Blob Storage that is different from Azure Data Lake. Thanks in advance, Nicola
