I used the PowerShell ISE for this configuration. But you are also very welcome to use Visual Studio Code, just as you wish. Please start with the following steps to begin the deployment (the Hashtags are comments):
#The first two lines have nothing to do with the configuration, but make some space below in the blue part of the ISE
#So that you can carry out the configuration, you need the necessary cmdlets, these are contained in the module Az (is the higher-level module from a number of submodules)
#For this example I am using passwords in the script. This is usually not a good idea, but it's fine for the demo.

Now you have used the PowerShell to create Azure Application Gateway with a virtual machine scale set in the backend! Congratulations!

I hope this article was useful. Best regards, Tom Wechsler
