 Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 [supports a hierarchical namespace](data-lake-storage-introduction.md) which provides a native directory-based container tailored to work with the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Access to Data Lake Storage Gen2 data from the HDFS is available through the [ABFS driver](data-lake-storage-abfs-driver.md).

 ## Create a storage account with Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 enabled
 
-Before you create an account, you first create a resource group that acts as a logical container to storage accounts or any other Azure resources you create. If you wish to clean up the resources created by this quickstart, you can simply delete the resource group. Deleting the resource group also deletes the associated storage account, and any other resources associated with the resource group. For more information regarding resource groups, see [Azure Resource Manager overview](../../azure-resource-manager/resource-group-overview.md).
+An Azure storage account contains all of your Azure Storage data objects: blobs, files, queues, tables, and disks. The storage account provides a unique namespace for your Azure Storage data that is accessible from anywhere in the world over HTTP or HTTPS. Data in your Azure storage account is durable and highly available, secure, and massively scalable.
 
 > [!NOTE]
 > You must create new storage accounts as type **StorageV2 (general-purpose V2)** to take advantage of Data Lake Storage Gen2 features.  
 
 For more information about storage accounts, see [Azure Storage account overview](../common/storage-account-overview.md).
 
-When naming your storage account, keep these rules in mind:
-
-- Storage account names must be between 3 and 24 characters in length and may contain numbers and lowercase letters only.
-- Your storage account name must be unique within Azure. No two storage accounts can have the same name.
