    Definition of the variable.

    Uses Azure REST API version 2024-10-23. In version 2.x of the Azure Native provider, it used API version 2022-08-08.

    Other available API versions: 2015-10-31, 2019-06-01, 2020-01-13-preview, 2022-08-08, 2023-05-15-preview, 2023-11-01. These can be accessed by generating a local SDK package using the CLI command pulumi package add azure-native automation [ApiVersion]. See the version guide for details.
