As far as I know inside Azure only fully restarting the Azure AppService is possible. But I may be wrong as I have seen the use of the PowerShell Restart-AzureRmWebApp.

Hi @Kulunu Abeysinghe,

Please see the below link:

Is the option given there what you are looking for?

Kind regards,

Hi @Nadeesh Herath and @Lee Pinchbeck ,

Thank you for your answers.

I have checked both recommended solutions, however they refer to restarting the App Service rather than a recycle.

After further research, I came to the conclusion that App pool recycling is not possible for Azure deployed applications.
