Microsoft Azure typically provides Hyper-V VMs in the cloud (I'm not sure if they do also provide VMs using other hypervisors, but certainly not VirtualBox VMs). A good indication is the display adapter named "Microsoft Hyper-V Video".

You'd probably already fail when trying to start the VirtualBox VM, because Hyper-V will only allow nested virtualization with Hyper-V inside.
