Durable Functions storage providers recommends Azure Storage V1

Durable Functions storage providers - Recommends Azure Storage V1

Documentation Link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-storage-providers#azure-storage

Problematic detail in the Note block in Azure Storage

We highly recommend using legacy v1 general purpose storage accounts because the newer 
v2 storage accounts can be significantly more expensive for Durable Functions workloads.

---

As seen on azure.microsoft.com, V1 Storage Accounts have been fully retired as of 31 August 2024.

---

The documentation should be updated with a new recommendation of which Azure Storage solution preferred. If Netherite is now the preferred solution, the documentation should be updated to reflect that.

This is intended - we're waiting until the next major release of Durable Functions (expected to come out this year) before recommending Azure Storage V2 accounts. Unfortunately, the current latest major version of Durable Functions (when using the default Azure Storage provider/backend( can be unexpectedly expensive with Azure Storage V2 accounts, so we want to wait before issuing this edit in the docs.

We should be able to edit this documentation in a few months, hopefully sooner.
