You can associate a storage account with your Batch account when you create the Batch account, or later. Consider your cost and performance requirements when choosing a storage account. For example, the GPv2 and blob storage account options support greater [capacity and scalability limits](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/announcing-larger-higher-scale-storage-accounts/) compared with GPv1. (Contact Azure Support to request an increase in a storage limit.) These account options can improve the performance of Batch solutions that contain a large number of parallel tasks that read from or write to the storage account.

When a storage account is linked to a Batch account, it's considered to be the *autostorage account*. An autostorage account is required if you plan to use the [application packages](batch-application-packages.md) capability, as it's used to store the application package .zip files. It can also be used for [task resource files](resource-files.md#storage-container-name-autostorage). Linking Batch accounts to autostorage can avoid the need for shared access signature (SAS) URLs to access the resource files.
