What is is that you're looking to do? The value of running a CRM server in an Azure virtual server is questionable, especially since CRM doesn't support Azure Active Directory, meaning you still need to roll your own AD and everything. CRM Online
would be a far better option.
As for integration, CRM and Azure have robust endpoints to communicate with each other. As Azure is a pretty open-ended platform, the question of "how to integrate CRM and Azure" is answered with "What do you want to do in Azure?"
There's no one thing Azure and CRM do together. However, if you need web services built out to support a complex CRM deployment, and you don't want local servers, Azure is a good way to set up and deploy them. If you need to sync data with other
systems, and you need a queue in the middle to guarantee data is never lost, Azure is a good idea there (though Scribe/Scribe Online is arguably better).
So what are you trying to do?
