Azure DevOps release pipeline with Azure Application Gateway and Virtual Machines

My target is to create Azure Resources from Azure DevOps release pipeline. Resources that are created are virtual machines and application gateway (+ all the necessary vnet's etc.). Resources are created successfully, but the pipeline wont work through application gateway. Currently the pipeline has "Azure File Copy" -task to copy some scripts to the virtual machines. This setup works without application gateway but I cannot get it to work with application gateway.

Error message I get from Azure DevOps is: "Unable to get FQDN for all resources in ResourceGroup"

I have created a ticket to MS but they were not able to resolve this issue ("Works as expected") yet and now waiting for Azure DevOps support to participate, but since it is a bit slow I decided to post a question about this here since I think that someone might have bumped into this before as well.

Does anyone have idea if this setup is supported or have any workarounds? Main need would be to copy and execute scripts in virtual machines.

Talked with Azure Networking team and Azure DevOps team and there is no way around this at the moment. Virtual machine must have public IP address to use "Azure File Copy" -task.

So I ended up adding additional NIC with public IP address to the VM and use NSG to only allow traffic from Azure DevOps pipeline.
