Azure and AWS Network Service Comparison
When Azure launched, they were more focused on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), with less of a focus on Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).

For example, the SaaS offering of Office 365 is often offered as a remotely hosted endpoint that can be reached over the public internet. The PaaS offering of building web applications using Azure App Services is often made via a fully managed process via popular frameworks such as .NET or Node.js.
