Can we execute az PowerShell module commands inside of a runspace in a .net console app deployed as a webjob on Azure app service?

Question

I've a webjob running in an azure app service that uses runspace to execute azure powershell module commands. Locally it's working fine because I can install az module directly using Windows powershell but when I deploy it to Azure, it fails.

Initially I was getting following error when I was executing Connect-AzAccount -Identity

Connect-AzAccount : The term 'Connect-AzAccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Then I tried to install az module inside of a runspace and I started getting another error:

Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Here is how I'm trying to install az module:

    runSpace.Open();

    RunspaceInvoke scriptInvoker = new RunspaceInvoke();
    scriptInvoker.Invoke("Install-PackageProvider Nuget -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force -Scope CurrentUser");
    scriptInvoker.Invoke("Import-PackageProvider Nuget");
    scriptInvoker.Invoke("Install-Module Az.Websites -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser");
    scriptInvoker.Invoke("Import-Module Az.Websites");
    scriptInvoker.Invoke("Install-Module Az.Storage -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser");
    scriptInvoker.Invoke("Import-Module Az.Storage");

So is it possible to execute az powershell module command in appservice?

Could you please try with only Connect-azaccount does the same error appearing..!! — AjayKumarGhose
