Querying an azure service connection for resource names-CodePudding

I have a service connection in ADO to connect to azure to update resources, but I require the names of some of the resources (eg, the storage account name eg: "st-base-storage-dev"

Currently, I'm grabbing this name from the portal and making a variable at the top of the stage, but was wondering if there's a way to get the value from azure without needing this type of manual intervention for future stages?

You can add an Azure CLI task in your pipeline to run the following command to get the specific resources properties and set the value of the name to a variable. Thus you can use the variable in subsequent tasks. See az resource list

az resource list --resource-group ResourceGroup --resource-type Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts

Below YAML for your reference:

pool:
  vmImage: Windows-latest

steps:
- task: AzureCLI@2
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: 'YourServiceConnection'
    scriptType: 'ps'
    scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
    inlineScript: |
      $resources = (az resource list --resource-group ResourceGroup  --resource-type Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts) | ConvertFrom-Json
      $staccount = $resources.name
      Write-Host "staccount:" $staccount
      Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=storageaccount]$staccount"
  displayName: Get Resource name and set variable

- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: 'Write-Host "storageaccount" : $(storageaccount)'
  displayName: Print the variable
