Blob Storage Domain

The storage domain to use. Classic blob storage uses blob.core.windows.net; Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 targets (with hierarchical namespace) use dfs.core.windows.net.

The domain is used wherever generated output builds storage URLs: the AzCopy commands in generated SSIS packages construct https://<account>.<domain>/<container> addresses with it, and Data Factory landing locations use it as the container domain. When the setting is blank, Data Factory landing locations default per linked service type: dfs.core.windows.net for Data Lake Storage Gen2 linked services and blob.core.windows.net otherwise.

When to Change This Setting

Set this to dfs.core.windows.net when your staging and archive accounts are Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 with hierarchical namespace enabled.
