 ### Flex Consumption Plan 
 The [Flex Consumption plan](../flex-consumption-plan.md) is an Azure Functions hosting plan that provides many of the benefits of the Consumption plan, including a serverless billing model, while also adding useful features, such as private networking, instance memory size selection, and full support for managed identity authentication.
 
-Azure Storage is currently the only supported [storage provider](durable-functions-storage-providers.md) for Durable Functions when hosted in the Flex Consumption plan.
-
 You should follow these performance recommendations when hosting Durable Functions in the Flex Consumption plan:
 
 * Set the [always ready instance count](../flex-consumption-how-to.md#set-always-ready-instance-counts) for the `durable` group to `1`. This ensures that there is always one instance ready to handle Durable Functions related requests, thus reducing the application's cold start.

 The Netherite storage backend was designed and developed by [Microsoft Research](https://www.microsoft.com/research). It uses [Azure Event Hubs](../../event-hubs/event-hubs-about.md) and the [FASTER](https://www.microsoft.com/research/project/faster/) database technology on top of [Azure Page Blobs](../../storage/blobs/storage-blob-pageblob-overview.md). The design of Netherite enables higher-throughput processing of orchestrations and entities compared to other providers. In some benchmark scenarios, throughput was shown to increase by more than an order of magnitude when compared to the default Azure Storage provider.

 ## Comparing storage providers
 
 There are many significant tradeoffs between the various supported storage providers. The following table can be used to help you understand these tradeoffs and decide which storage provider is best for your needs.
