Another option for using external PowerShell Modules inside your Azure Function App is to utilize Advanced Tools (Kudu) for this purpose. This is one of the best options to use in this case. Let’s follow the steps below.
Add Custom Modules to Azure Functions App using Kudu
Navigate to your Azure Function app that you have created to use with PowerShell. Click on the Advanced Tools link under the Development Tools section.
Now, click on the Go button on the Advanced Tools window.
Select the CMD option from the Debug console drop-down in the top navigation window.
Navigate to the subfolder site/wwwroot/{yourFunctionName}. You can see there that two default files run.ps1 and function.json
Click on the Home Button –> Site –> wwroot –> Click on your Function Name
Now click on the + button –> New Folder and create a folder with the module name like below
Now you can drag and drop the files from your local path to this folder
Now, copy the complete path from the CMD window and keep it, as we need to add that in our Import statement
For me, the path is D:\home\site\wwwroot\MyHttpPowerShellFunction\azurerm
Now you need to import the PowerShell module in the Run.ps1 file like below
Import-Module “D:\home\site\wwwroot\MyHttpPowerShellFunction\azurerm\AzureRM.AnalysisServices.psd1”
