What is the difference between Azure SQL VM and Azure VM where we install SQL Server manually

Question 1 - what is the difference if i create a VM and install SQL Server on it by myself vs Azure SQL VM.
With respect to licensing, I will anyway use the hybrid licensing to make use of on-prem license.
Is there any significant different apart from that, MS installs the SQL server on C: but I can install it else where.
Currently when I check in portal, I see the server listed in Virtual machine and in SQL Virtual machine for both SQL VM and VM where SQL Server is installed manually.
When i browse over the SQL Virtual Machine section i do not see certain options enabled like Security, Patching, backups, Additional features etc., for the version VM where SQL Server is installed manually
Question 2 - SQL Server with Azure DB PaaS vs Managed SQL Server (comes on VM)
Here my understanding is SQL Server is completely managed by MS and we need not worry about anything. Just create SQL Server, add Azure DB paas to use them. Or am i missing something?
Thanks you!!!

Connecting to On-Premises Oracle DB from Azure Data Factory

Trying to connecting to On-Premises Oracle DB from Azure Data Factory.
Current Setup:
Oracle db - On Premises
VM with Self Hosted Integration Runtime on Azure - Tested with other MSSQL Server Databases - can connect successfully - This VM is managed by ITP (our Cloud Hosting Team), developers don't have access to it.
Azure Data Factory - configured to consume above Self Hosted Integration Runtime.
I can connect to Oracle db from my local machine, using Taod for Oracle. When passed same credential details - connection fails from ADF.
Do I need to ask ITP to install ODAC on VM for the connectivity?
Congratulations that #Sreedhar have figured out the error by himself:
"Figured out, just need to install Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) on the VM and everything works."
I help him post it as answer and this can be beneficial to other community members.

How to host my local Application and local database together in Azure?

I have application build in Visual studio 2015 and local sql server 2015 , which application presently using local server. I need my application to host in azure with same database .
How to host my local Application and local database together in Azure?
According to your description, I suggest you could create azure web apps to host your web application and create a azure sql server to store your data.
Besides, if you want your web application still use the local host sql, you need to use Hybrid Connections to connect to on-premises SQL Server(your local sql server).
More details, you could refer to below article:
Connect to on-premises SQL Server from a web app in Azure App Service using Hybrid Connections
If you want to manage your own application and sql server, you could also consider using azure VM. By using this, you could install an IIS to host your web application and SQL server to store your data.

AppFabric Installation Problem

Hoping someone else has already encountered this and has a solution...
I'm trying to install the AppFabric Beta 1 caching service, on a virtual Windows Server 2008 (CacheServer1). My cache configuration information will be held in a SQL Server database on a separate server (SQLServer). As AppFabric only supports Integrated Security for SQL Server, both servers are in the same domain, and I'm installing using an account that has db_owner rights to my VelocityConfig database.
When I run the AppFabric installer and get to entering the connection string for my SQL server, I put in the server name, but when I click the combo box to get the list of databases from the server, it thinks for a minute and then I get a timeout error.
Both servers can ping each other, and I've created a .UDL file on CacheServer1 under the same user, which can connect successfully to SQLServer and retrieve a list of databases.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get the installer to succeed?
The solution I found to this was to install the SQL 2008 Client Connectivity bits on CacheServer1, once this was installed I could get a list of databases. Still can't get AppFabric to install successfully but that's another problem for another question I think...
To ensure that there is no network/DNS issues, can you try the following:
1. Use IP address instead of hostname.
2. Are you able to connect to sql server via sql server mgmt studio running on CacheServer1?
