Prerequisites

Before enabling {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, make sure you have completed the following steps:

• Create your Azure storage account for storing workflow data. {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} stores its data as block blobs, and two storage account types are supported:

  • A general-purpose storage account (also known as general-purpose v1 or general-purpose v2) using the standard performance tier.

    {% warning %}

    Warning: Using the premium performance tier with a general-purpose storage account is not supported. The standard performance tier must be selected when creating the storage account, and it cannot be changed later.

    {% endwarning %}

  • A BlockBlobStorage storage account, which uses the premium performance tier.

  For more information on Azure storage account types and performance tiers, see the Azure documentation. {% data reusables.actions.enterprise-common-prereqs %}
