You can make use of virtualization in your on-site data-centers, but if you’re using Azure you’ll definitely be relying on virtual machines to one extent or another. To create virtual servers on physical servers, you use software that sets up divisions between each virtual machine (VM) and allows them all to operate independently. This adds a layer of abstraction between information and the physical infrastructure that hosts it. This in turn gives you more flexibility on how you can manage and protect the various elements of your computing environment.

Azure Websites, Cloud Services, and Virtual Machines comparison
With Azure, there are multiple ways to host websites – Azure Website, Cloud services and Virtual Machines.
For most web apps, Azure Websites have been the best choice. Deployment and management are integrated into the platform, sites can scale quickly to handle high traffic loads, and the built in load balancing and traffic manager provide high availability. You can easily move existing sites to Azure websites easily with an online migrating tool or create a new site using the framework and tools of your choice.
If you need more control over the web server environment, such as the ability to remote into your server or configure server startup tasks, Azure Cloud Services is typically the best option.
If you have an existing application that would require substantial modifications to run in Azure Websites or Azure Cloud Services, you could choose Azure Virtual Machines in order to simplify migrating to the cloud. However, correctly configuring, securing, and maintaining VMs requires much more time and IT expertise compared to Azure Websites and Cloud Services.
If you are considering Azure Virtual Machines, make sure you take into account the ongoing maintenance effort required to patch, update, and manage your VM environment.
The following diagram illustrates the relative degree of control versus ease of use for each of these web hosting options on Azure.
