+### Set cloud build variables from just one project
+
+While each individual MSBuild project has its own version computed, the versions across projects are usually the same so long as you have one `version.json` file at the root of your repo. If you choose to enable setting of cloud build variables in that root version.json file, each project that builds will take a turn setting those cloud build variables. This is perhaps more work than is necessary, and when some projects compute versions differently it can lead to inconsistently defined cloud build variables, based on non-deterministic build ordering of your projects.
+
+You can reduce log message noise and control for non-deterministic cloud build variables by *not* setting the `cloudBuild` options in your root version.json file, and instead defining one inside just *one* project directory that inherits from the base one, like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "inherit": true,
+  "cloudBuild": {
+    "setVersionVariables": true
+  }
+}
+```
