what is the way to have an always running process on azure? on windows it is windows service, but do i have to get a virtual machine just to have a single running process? I have looked at various compute options but none of them seems to match what a windows service does. Is there a different way to achieve what a windows service does on azure?

Azure function is a good candidate for migrating windows services into something cloud based. Azure function can be triggered by a timer and so like a windows service can be scheduled at a certain time of the day for example.
Please give a read to my notes that I wrote while I worked on such a migration:
