[Azure Blob Storage](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/blob-service-rest-api) referred as Blob Endpoint +2.

However, azure services does not recommended +to interact with FNS accounts using DFS Endpoint. + +To enable ABFS Driver to work with FNS Accounts, Support for Blob Endpoint is being added. +ABFS Driver will only allow FNS Accounts to be accessed using Blob Endpoint. +HNS Enabled accounts will still use DFS Endpoint which continues to be the +recommended stack based on performance and feature capabilities. + +## Configuring ABFS Driver for FNS Accounts Review Comment: That's a good point to improve our docs, but I was thinking this site page is supposed to talk about FNS accounts only. Do you suggest we add another page for HNS accounts? Something like hns_dfs.md and talk about how to optimally configure HNS accounts with ABFS driver? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
