Description

### Description

It seems like the az.aks module has a dependency on an old version of YamlDotNet.dll that can conflict and prevent the module to be imported.

Referring to this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/dev-cross-plat/resolving-dependency-conflicts?view=powershell-7.3 and the bug I reported in the powershell-yaml module repo: https://github.com/cloudbase/powershell-yaml/issues/109 there should be workarounds to make the module more robust in handling the assembly conflict.
