Azure account variables

Azure accounts can be referenced in a project through a project variable of the type Azure account.

The Azure PowerShell step will allow you to bind the account to an Azure account variable, using the binding syntax. By using an variable for the account, you can have different accounts used across different environments or regions using scoping.

The Add Variable window is then displayed and lists all the Azure accounts.

Select the account that was created in the previous step to assign it to the variable.
