Azure Pipelines releases can deploy artifacts produced by a wide range of artifact sources. such as Azure Pipelines build, Jenkins, or Team City. Define the release pipeline using stages and restrict deployments into or out of a stage using approvals. Define the automation in each stage using jobs and tasks.
As you compose the tasks for deploying your application into each environment, variables will help you to: Define a more generic deployment process once, and then customize it easily for each environment.
To use a variable group, open your pipeline. Select Variables > Variable groups, and then choose Link variable group. In a build pipeline, you see a list of available groups. In a release pipeline, for example, you also see a drop-down list of stages in the pipeline.
Yes, when a variable scope is set to Release it allows the value to be used across all stages and tasks in the release pipeline. If scope is set to a specific stage, then it is available in that stage only.
