AZURE - Anyone?

We are running our backups to Azure. We were using Azure Backup since Azure gives us as a credit every year as a chartiable non-profit. I'm now switching to different bakcup option however that will also go to Azure but the backup will run on a VM. The software also allows restore direct to Azure so I will be able to use Azure essentially as a DR site that I should be able to spin major services (Event manage software and file servers etc) up in  a couple hours with little financial output for the monthly costs. 

I have found some really annoying things about Azure. 

1.) No disks bigger then 1023 GB (to get a bigger disk you need to create multiples and combine them at the os level somehow) for VM's

2.) No console access. I think this would prevent me from dropping all my infrastructure into Azure with the current way my on-site is setup.
