You have a Fabric workspace and an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account. You want to create a shortcut to storage1 in Lakehouse1. Which connection type and endpoint should you specify?

• A. Abfs to Blob Endpoint
• B. Abfss to File Endpoint
• C. HTTPS to Blob Endpoint
• D. HTTPS to Dfs Endpoint

Answer: (D)

Accessing ADLS Gen2 data from a Fabric Lakehouse shortcut uses the Data Lake Storage Gen2 DFS endpoint over HTTPS. The DFS endpoint provides the hierarchical namespace and file-system semantics that Lakehouse expects, enabling proper navigation of storage1 within Lakehouse1. The blob endpoint is for general blob storage and doesn’t expose the Data Lake file-system API, and the DFS endpoint is the appropriate entry point for ADLS Gen2 data. So you should configure HTTPS to the Dfs Endpoint.
