In this recipe, we will build a deployment workflow for Windows and Linux VMs. We will learn how to create workflows and reduce the amount of input variables.
We have split this recipe in two sections. In the first section, we will create a configuration element, and in the second, we will create the workflow.
We will use a configuration for all reusable variables. If you need help to create a configuration element, take a look at the Working with configurations recipe in Chapter 3, Visual Programming.
