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?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Compare the Application Gateway API with the VMSS and VM APIs and the portal flow shown in the issue. Determine how VM or VMSS backend-pool support would need to be represented in the REST specifications, then confirm the proposed API surface and its expected behavior with maintainers before making changes.
