 # Tutorial: Use variant feature flags in Azure App Configuration (preview)
 
-Variant feature flags enable your application to support multiple variants of a feature. The variants of your feature can be assigned to specific users, groups, or percentile buckets. Variants can be useful for feature rollouts, configuration rollouts, and feature experimentation (also known as A/B testing).

Users who receive the _Simple_ variant get a simple greeting message. Users who receive the _Long_ variant get a slightly longer greeting.
