Unlike Data Lake Storage Gen1, Data Lake Storage Gen2 isn't a dedicated service or account type. Instead, it's implemented as a set of capabilities that you use with the Blob Storage service of your Azure Storage account. You can unlock these capabilities by enabling the hierarchical namespace setting. This setting is not enabled by default. You must enable it either as you create the account or after you create the account.

The Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 access control model supports both Azure role-based access control (RBAC) and Portable Operating System Interface for UNIX (POSIX) access control lists (ACLs). There are also a few extra security settings that are specific to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. You can set permissions either at the directory level or at the file level. All stored data is encrypted at rest by using either Microsoft-managed or customer-managed encryption keys.

Because these capabilities are built on Blob Storage, features such as diagnostic logging, access tiers, and lifecycle management policies are available to your account. Most Blob Storage features are fully supported, but some features might be supported only at the preview level and there are a handful of them that are not yet supported. For a complete list of support statements, see [Blob Storage feature support in Azure Storage accounts](storage-feature-support-in-storage-accounts.md). The status of each listed feature will change over time as support continues to expand.
