Azure Devops - How to use classic pipeline variable group in YAML pipeline

Hi All!

When we need to use a group of variables in a pipeline, we can go for variable group instead of variables. The main usage of variable group is that can be used it across multiple pipelines in the same project.

For example, I have a below variable group in my azure Devops.

By default variable groups can be used across classic pipelines without any explicit permission granted but that variable group could not be used by YAML pipelines typically.

So, How how can I use that variable group in my YAML pipeline?

We can achieve it through "Pipeline permissions" option on top of variable group page. In the below image, I grant permission to my dotnet6app YAML pipeline to use variable group

We can revoke if we don't need a YAML pipeline should not access variable group as below.

Now, I want my all pipelines should use variable group. I don't want manual intervention for my future creation pipelines as well. so, we can grant "open access" - which grants permission to all YAML pipelines of the project.

Please look into the below example

Azure Public IP(s) are zone redundant free of cost natively - Generally Available Availability zone gives high availability to an application as well as information by forestalling the physical datacenter disappointments by involving replication of the asset in extra datacenter. Azure typically has 3 zones per region (and not all regions support zone). Thus, while setting up the environment we really want to pick the right region based on our usecase. Public IP helps to access a resource or an application publicly. Azure offers 2 types of SKU for public IP as below Basic Standard Only Standard SKU gives zone facility. Basic SKU is always non-zonal and this SKU also will be retired 09/2025. Standard public IP can be fell into any of the below category No Zone / Non-Zonal - No availability zone at all Zonal - Our services can be replicated in any one of selected zones from three zones. Zone redundant - Resource will be replicated in all 3 zones. It is opposite of...
