I need to use the Variable group in the azure pipeline that links to Azure Key Vault secret. The secret will be used to connect to a sql database.

Is there a way th

Using Azure variables:

In file.jmx add your Azure global or pipeline local variables, on this case I add the user_name. In jMeter I suggest add a Config Element > Used Defined Variables and add a variable as:

 Name          | Value
 user_name     | ${__groovy( System.getenv("USER_NAME") )}

In case you are passing secret password add the reference in the variables by using the Property option as

Name           | Value
user_password  | ${__P(USER_PASSWORD)}

Set your variable locally on jMeter > bin path as

   set USER_NAME=rmd_test_4

In your jMeter requests, you should use the variable ${user_name} and ${user_password}. Your Azure command should be the same as if you run them locally in your CLI as follows:

   Locally: jmeter -n -t test_flow.jmx -JUSER_PASSWORD=abc123
   Azure:   jmeter -n -t test_flow.jmx -Juser_pwd=$(RMD_TEST_PASS)

I hope this may help
