Azure Cosmos DB could work, but it's not the best fit.

I feel like Azure Files could work, but it seems more suited for file storage rather than big data analytics. Azure Data Lake feels like the right answer.

I’m a bit confused about Azure Cosmos DB; I know it’s great for NoSQL, but does it fit well with Databricks?

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think Azure SQL Database is more for structured data, so it might not be ideal here.

I think Azure Data Lake is the best option for persisting large datasets, but I'm not entirely sure if it’s the only choice.
