    Use this data source to get all variables in an Automation Account.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

const example = azure.automation.getAccount({
    name: "example-account",
    resourceGroupName: "example-resources",
});
const exampleGetVariables = example.then(example => azure.automation.getVariables({
    automationAccountId: example.id,
}));
export const stringVars = exampleAzurermAutomationVariableString.string;

    import pulumi
import pulumi_azure as azure

example = azure.automation.get_account(name="example-account",
    resource_group_name="example-resources")
example_get_variables = azure.automation.get_variables(automation_account_id=example.id)
pulumi.export("stringVars", example_azurerm_automation_variable_string["string"])

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/sdk/v6/go/azure/automation"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		example, err := automation.LookupAccount(ctx, &automation.LookupAccountArgs{
			Name:              "example-account",
			ResourceGroupName: "example-resources",
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		_, err = automation.GetVariables(ctx, &automation.GetVariablesArgs{
			AutomationAccountId: example.Id,
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		ctx.Export("stringVars", exampleAzurermAutomationVariableString.String)
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

    });

    var exampleGetVariables = Azure.Automation.GetVariables.Invoke(new()
    {
        AutomationAccountId = example.Apply(getAccountResult => getAccountResult.Id),
    });

    return new Dictionary<string, object?>

    API Providers

    This data source uses the following Azure API Providers:

    • Microsoft.Automation - 2023-11-01

    Using getVariables

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getVariables(args: GetVariablesArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetVariablesResult>
function getVariablesOutput(args: GetVariablesOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetVariablesResult>
    def get_variables(automation_account_id: Optional[str] = None,
                  opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetVariablesResult
def get_variables_output(automation_account_id: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                  opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetVariablesResult]
    func GetVariables(ctx *Context, args *GetVariablesArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*GetVariablesResult, error)
func GetVariablesOutput(ctx *Context, args *GetVariablesOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) GetVariablesResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named GetVariables in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetVariables 
{
    public static Task<GetVariablesResult> InvokeAsync(GetVariablesArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    public static Output<GetVariablesResult> Invoke(GetVariablesInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
}
    public static CompletableFuture<GetVariablesResult> getVariables(GetVariablesArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
public static Output<GetVariablesResult> getVariables(GetVariablesArgs args, InvokeOptions options)

    fn::invoke:
  function: azure:automation/getVariables:getVariables
