Azure-rest-api-specs: [AppGw] Feature Request: Allow creation of an empty application gateway

[jansepke]

Hi,

currently it is not possible to create an empty application gateway without frontend and backend configuration. so it is not possible to create an application gateway step by step.

Could you allow the creation of an empty application gateway? then one could split the creation of an application gateway into multiple parts as requested in https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/727

AppGW has created a task for this feature.

Any update on this issue? Is there a way to track the AppGW task?

Another use case: The App Gateway as part of infrastructure, but listeners, rules, settings, probes, and back ends are really part of distinct applications. I want to include the build of the App Gateway with some preset front end IP and Port values and could even use some defaults for the other values to get it created. But I want to have the other pieces directly associated with the application in my application release so that I can add/change/remove rules as my application lifecycle changes.

@surajmb @MikhailTryakhov is there a timeline for when this support will be added?

[surajmb]

@tombuildsstuff I don't have a firm ETA at the moment. But roughly first quarter of CY20.

@KarenHammons why was this issue closed? has this been released?

[KarenHammons]

@surajmb indicated to me we could close this issue. @surajmb can you confirm whether this was released?

[surajmb]

It hasn't been released yet, but this is more of a feature request than a bug fix. Hence I thought it can be logged under https://feedback.azure.com/forums/217313-networking?category_id=134448 for better tracking and voting

Hi @surajmb. Did you create the "feature request" in the feedback.azure.com site?
Otherwise, there is a mistake. This issue is closed, no feature request is created in feedback.azure.com, so this feature request which is asked and voted by several users is just LOST... This is a bit demoralizing for users 😥

[surajmb]

Hey @boillodmanuel , it hasn't been created yet. I was encouraging you to create a feature request in the feedback forum, which we regularly look at for popular votes. Once you log the feature request there, I bet people will vote for it and we can be in touch with you regarding the updates. This ask hasn't been posted in the forum so far from what I can see :)

Said that, we'll definitely consider this ask and put it in the backlog for now.
