Description

The Application Gateway in the portal allows you to set a VMSS or VM as a Backend Pool like so

But that same functionality of setting a VMSS or VM as a Backend Pool can't be done through the Application Gateway API and is done rather through the VMSS and VM API.

Is it possible to allow this functionality through Application Gateway API?
