title: Microsoft Azure VMs IaaS or PaaS?
body: <p>I would like some clarification on whether Azure VM's are strictly IaaS or can be PaaS depending on the amount responsibilities the creator/user has. </p>
  
  <p>I've seen multiple different website saying VM are ONLY IaaS since you require an operating system, and others saying VM can be PaaS if a specific OS is specified on creation.</p>
  
  <p>Any insight the community can provide will be very helpful, Thanks! </p>
