Microsoft Fabric: Creating a OneLake Shortcut to ADLS Gen2

Microsoft Fabric: Shortcut to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 - End To End Demo - Part 4

Shortcuts in Microsoft Fabric enable zero-copy referencing of data across OneLake and clouds. With Shortcuts, you can get rid of your pipelines that are used to copy data into your storage account - instead, the data that's required for your Fabric operations is just retrieved as and when needed.

In this video we use an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS Gen2) account as the source, and configure a Shortcut in our Bronze Lakehouse so that the referenced data sits alongside our other raw data.
