Can't see VMSS from Application gateway in different resource group

Kristian Iliev 20

How can I make my Application Gateway from one resource group communicate with the Virtual machine scale set of another resource group in the same subscription? I have established Network Peering between the two virtual networks, but the Backend pools of the Application Gateway still can't locate the VMSS.

Hello Ganesh,

Sorry for the late answer.

My idea is to use a gateway that is in different Vnet and different resource group. I am trying with vnet peering but cannot see the VMSS in the gateway.

I cannot set the IP directly because I would need to swap it manually if one of the VMs shutdowns.

If there is different way to set it up, I am open to suggestions as well!

Thank you!

Best regards,
Kristian

Hello Ganesh,

Would it be convenient to have a meeting for easier explanation? Currently I have destroyed everything in order to prevent further cost but I still need to do it so I could create it again.

Hello, Ganesh,

After I tried to replicate the issue I managed to Add the instances from the VMSS to the Gateway by following your link. I have chosen Azure CLI not Powershell and this time I used the Azure Cloud Shell.
A side note - The '*' in the provided command in the provided link was not working without double quotes for me.
Now finally I have my targets in the pool. I need to test and see if it works properly with scaling and etc..

Thank you for your help, @Ganesh Patapati (Quadrant Resource LLC)

Hi Kristian Iliev,

Good day!

Welcome to the Q&A Platform for Microsoft. We appreciate you asking this question here.

We understand from your query that you are experiencing an issue while trying to Can't see VMSS from Application gateway in different resource group?

The Application Gateway needs to be in the Vnet as scale set, if not it will not show when you try to add it to a backend pool.

If you have VNet peering, you can just add the internal IP of the VM to target the backend pool.

A backend pool routes request to backend servers, which serve the request. Backend pools can contain:
