# Connect to Azure Data Lake Storage

Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) is a cloud-based data-warehouse. This topic describes how to connect to [account access keys](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage?tabs=azure-portal#view-account-access-keys) from Domino. You must have network connectivity between Azure Data Lake Storage and your Domino deployment.

The easiest way to connect to a Azure Data Lake Storage instance from Domino is to create a Domino Data Source as described below.

## Create an ADLS Data Source

1. From the navigation pane, click **Data > Data Sources**.

2. Click **Create a Data Source**.

3. In the New Data Source window, from **Select Data Store**, select **ADLS** for **Azure Data Lake Store**.

4. Enter the unique storage account name in **Account Name**.

5. Enter the name of the **Container**.

6. Enter the **Data Source Name**.

7. Optional: Enter a **Description** to explain the purpose of the Data Source to others.

8. Click **Next**.

9. Enter your [Access Key](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage?tabs=azure-portal#view-account-access-keys) to connect to Azure Data Lake Storage. The Domino secret store backed by HashiCorp Vault securely stores the credentials.

10. Click **Test Credentials**.

11. If the Data Source authenticates, click **Next**.

12. Select who can view and use the Data Source in projects.

13. Click **Finish Setup**.
