# Variables ### Overview Variables are key value pairs that an application typically consumes during CI/CD workflows. Define your variables as secrets by default with Ozone and Ozone maps them and makes them available automatically without the worry of exposing these secrets during the deployment workflows. {% hint style="info" %} Create variables from the Deployment Config Section and define either a global value that is applicable across all environments or values specific to each environment {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ozone.one/ozone-end-user-guide/faq/variables.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
