Lots of pricing tiers could be confusing for first time, from a first sight you can`t understand why similar in resources VMs, has different costs. No generation 2 Hyper-V VMs support, you need to convert your machine before migration

Azure Virtual Machines could be the perfect solution, if you desired to start moving your services from outdated hardware to cloud. These machines are running almost just like your regular VMs in data center and moving your applications and databases there will not require rewriting the code to start. So you can just start your applications as it is, and only after this plan any code changes to move to PaaS level. All VMs are running in virtual networks and can access storage accounts. Your staff will not have to do much efforts to get familiar with new environment and will be able to support applications like it was in on-premise data center. Marketplace allows you to pick all almost all needed images to deploy, it has Windows, Linux machines, machines with installed software. License for everithing installed before deployment is always included in cost of machine. If you will not find suitable image, you can capture image from your existing on-premise virtual machine and deploy it to Azure.

Azure Virtual Machines are a part of IaaS solution, which allows you to work with your workloads like you are doing it in your on-premise datacenter. So you can work as you are used to. VMs has a great choise of pricing levels that allows you to set up anything from a simple Linux VM for smtp server up to powerful server that can handle 3D rendering workload or host a nested hypervisor, if you are using Windows 2016 as an OS. Multiple images available from marketplace, different operating systems, you can find a great set of Linux and Windows machines, machines with pre-installed software, for example SQL Server or even Oracle database. You can combine your VMs in scale and availability sets for automatic scaling and failover purposes respectively. You can also perform vertical scaling of single VMs by switching it another pricing level. Vms can be backed up with built in Azure services and have desired redundancy by replicating these to additional zones and regions. VMs are charged on per-minute basis, so you can turn off the machines that are not being used and pay only for storage for these. You can even create automation to schedule shut down and turn on of your VMs.

My advice is to turn off idle VMs to leverage it`s costs

Price, having a decent speced machine up full time is expensive. Azure database pricing is not affordable for small businesses to scale.

Need to reboot VM for applying some changes or settings, for example there is no hot adding or removing NICs need to stop VM before doing it. Some times it is not possible to perform VM resize from some VM sizes.

If you still keep your hardware, support it and upgrade it yourself it is time to go to the cloud and use Azure VMs to safe your money and keep your business going on without any interruptions.
