External storage requirements

To enable {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, you must have access to external blob storage.

{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} uses blob storage to store artifacts generated by workflow runs, such as workflow logs and user-uploaded build artifacts. The amount of storage required depends on your usage of {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}. Only a single external storage configuration is supported, and you can't use multiple storage providers at the same time.

{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} supports these storage providers:

• Azure Blob storage
• Amazon S3
• S3-compatible MinIO Gateway for NAS

{% note %}

Note: These are the only storage providers that {% data variables.product.company_short %} supports and can provide assistance with. Other S3 API-compatible storage providers are unlikely to work due to differences from the S3 API. Contact us to request support for additional storage providers.

{% endnote %}
