There's too many ways to define variables in Azure Pipelines. I'll briefly explain why you should keep variables close to your code in YAML unless they're secrets, in which case the Library Groups and Key Vaults are better.

===== PRO TIP =====

Hey, where's my variable?

Use `lib-` to indicate a value comes from a library group and `kv-` to indicate it's in Key Vault. Makes debugging much easier 👌
