a. Bitcoin can ONLY be mined using AISC-based hardware. Ref https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2959621.msg30383956#msg30383956 points 2 and 3

b. Only Altcoins can be mined with CPU's and this (BTC mining) was the wrong area of the Forum to discuss that. Use the Altcoin areas which is where the mods moved your post as I was replying.

b. Mining (altcoins) using Azure or other cloud-based CPU platform is not a crime however, it most likely violates the Terms of Service and that is why you keep getting banned.

c. I take it you have never bothered to ask MS Azure support folks why they are banning you? Pretty certain they will be more than happy tell you...

If they are banning you, probably it's against their Terms of Service, I suggest you to ask them if mining it's allowed or not
I don't remember if mining is allowed on Azure, but I know on Amazon it's forbidden

no it is not possible
period
the services that azure and amazon cloud and god forbid any cloud company provides is not for mining use
they have a lot of checks to prevent for the same and ban it as it is against the rules
better to sell those accounts rather than holding and using it for mining

I am pretty sure Azure and AWS lets you mine as long as you are a paying customer. If you got some scheme to get free accounts and find that you are getting banned its probably because you are only allowed to use 1 account per person.

I mined Zcoin back in 2017-2018 for a few months, used AWS, and paid with my credit card and didn't have any issues. However lots have changed since 2017 so I am not sure if CPU mining is worth it anymore.

You are not allowed however to mine with VPS, reason why is because those are usually shared with other users and they prohibit 100% CPU activity. There is a difference between a VPS and something like Azure/AWS.
