  • Reference
Module:

Creates an Automation variable.

Syntax

New-AzAutomationVariable
   [-Name] <String>
   -Encrypted <Boolean>

   [-Value <Object>]
   [-ResourceGroupName] <String>
   [-AutomationAccountName] <String>

Description

The New-AzAutomationVariable cmdlet creates a variable in Azure Automation. To encrypt the variable, specify the Encrypted parameter. You cannot modify the encrypted state of a variable after creation.

Examples

Example 1: Create a variable with a simple value

New-AzAutomationVariable -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -Name "StringVariable22" -Encrypted $False -Value "My String" -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01"

This command creates a variable named StringVariable22 with a string value in the Automation account named Contoso17.

Example 2: Create a variable with a complex value

$VirtualMachine = Get-AzVM -Name "VirtualMachine03"
New-AzAutomationVariable -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -Name "ComplexVariable01" -Encrypted $False -Value $VirtualMachine -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01"

The first command gets a virtual machine by using the Get-AzVM cmdlet. The command stores it in the $VirtualMachine variable. The second command creates a variable named ComplexVariable01 in the Automation account named Contoso17. This command uses a complex object for its value, in this case, the virtual machine in $VirtualMachine.
