Can't Find Data Lake Store Gen2

I'm trying to locate Azure DataLake Store Gen2 using the Azure portal and for some reason cannot find it:

enter image description here

I've been searching the docs and the portal and cannot seem to find it, has anyone else run into this problem? It has been in global GA since Feb, so I don't think that's the issue. I've reviewed the docs for how to create a Storage Account, is that all that's needed to create the gen2 instance?

Notice under Storage Account, it lists "Data Lake Gen 2" – Hong Ooi
@HongOoi yep, missed that because I was looking for an option like ADLS Gen1, rather than thinking it was a part of Storage Account – C.Nivs

ADLS gen 2 is a feature of Azure Storage. When you are creating a Storage account, go to the Advanced tab:

choose Advanced tab

Then enable Hierarchical namespace (this provides you ADLS Gen 2):
