How to update instance of Azure Application Gateway using Ansible

Question

I am trying to automate managing some aspects of application gateway using Ansible. Some examples are adding new hosts to the backend pool, increasing instance count etc. I found examples of the azure_rm_appgateway_module here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/azure/azcollection/azure_rm_appgateway_module.html

However, it only has examples of creating instances of application gateway. Can someone point to some examples of how to update an existing application gateway using ansible.

Here is an example for quick reference on managing Azure Application Gateway using Ansible playbook,

- name: Create instance of Application Gateway
  azure_rm_appgateway:
    resource_group: "{{ resource_group }}"
    name: "{{ appgw_name }}"
    sku:
      name: standard_small
      tier: standard
      capacity: 2
    gateway_ip_configurations:
      - subnet:
          id: "{{ subnet.response[0].id }}"
        name: appGatewayIP
    frontend_ip_configurations:
      - public_ip_address: "{{ publicip_name }}"
        name: appGatewayFrontendIP
    frontend_ports:
      - port: 80
        name: appGatewayFrontendPort
    backend_address_pools:
      - backend_addresses:
          - ip_address: "{{ aci_1_output.response[0].properties.ipAddress.ip }}"
          - ip_address: "{{ aci_2_output.response[0].properties.ipAddress.ip }}"
        name: appGatewayBackendPool
    backend_http_settings_collection:
      - port: 80
        protocol: http
        cookie_based_affinity: enabled
        name: appGatewayBackendHttpSettings
    http_listeners:
      - frontend_ip_configuration: appGatewayFrontendIP
        frontend_port: appGatewayFrontendPort
        name: appGatewayHttpListener
    request_routing_rules:
      - rule_type: Basic
        backend_address_pool: appGatewayBackendPool
        backend_http_settings: appGatewayBackendHttpSettings
