Something that requires virtualization isn't going to run in an Azure VM (which is already virtualized). Same thing with, say, WP8 emulator (see this question, with the same answer).

EDIT - As of mid-2017, there are now VMs that support nested virtualization (Dv3 and Ev3 series, for now). See this post for more information.
