parameters and powershell provisioner

[Stijnc]

Hi,
was wondering if the Azure image builder PowerShell provisioner provides the means to inject 'parameters' to further use in the scripts.

In packer one can use environment vars to inject values before script execution.

I did not find any example in the repo or in the docs online.

The following ARM template provides a workaround, but this isn't suitable when using a script ref?

could you provide any guidance?

Thanks,
Stijn

Up, I'm interested to this too, because I'm trying to figure out how to pass the storage account key to a Powershell script, so that it can mount the Azure Files share and install in the VM things inside the Azure Files share.

Hi @Stijnc, @cbroglia - Sorry for the delay in getting to this. As you mentioned, there is currently not a way in the template to specify env vars, but this is a popular ask, as is on our backlog. The only thing I can suggest is to dynamically create/update a script file with these env vars as part of the build pipeline, and then get AIB to download the script on each execution. I will leave this open, and in August we will review the backlog.
