Sounds good but lacks the management that Azure provides. For example, running SQL Server in a VM means you're taking on all the responsibility for uptime, redundancy, backups, security, etc. Whereas Azure SQL abstracts all that away and you can focus on your application code instead of managing infrastructure.

My experience with the sql azure performance has been pretty lackluster when comparing with sql running on even a tiny vm.
