Describe your feature request here
When running separate AzurePowerShell tasks, I can see in the debug log that it Clear-AzContext and reauthenticates with Connect-AzAccount.

With debug logging enabled I can also see that modules are imported, even if they where imported in a previous step.
# lots of these
2026-03-27T08:33:17.2407731Z VERBOSE: Importing cmdlet Register-AzModule.
Can either session or modules be cached between tasks?
Unfortunately my requirements does not allow me to run everything in a single task as there are other tasks needed inbetween.
