Earlier this week we had a post about how you can easily access secrets stored within Azure Key Vault in an Azure DevOps pipeline task, using the Key Vault Task. One other way you can achieve this same functionality is by using a variable group, and in this post we’re going to show you how. Why would you use a variable group instead of the key vault task? If you know you require access to the secrets from across multiple stages within a pipeline using a group allows you to easily manage access without having to include the task in every single stage by scoping the group to the release or specific stages....

In this post, we’re going to dive a bit deeper into what a variable group is, how you can create one and how you can link variable groups into your build pipeline. Want to secure your Azure DevOps application secrets in Key Vault?...
