 # devstack-actions
 Github actions which will install OpenStack with devstack.
 
+## Azure APT mirror workaround
+
+By default, the action removes `azure.archive.ubuntu.com` entries from
+`/etc/apt/apt-mirrors.txt` before its first APT operation to avoid stalled
+package downloads. Other mirrors and their priorities are preserved. If the
+mirror-list file does not exist, the workaround is skipped. APT sources that
+reference the Azure mirror directly are not changed.
+
+Set `enable_workaround_azure_mirror: 'false'` in the step's `with:` block to
+disable the workaround.

+## Usage
