Is there a way to install Mac OS on an Azure Virtual machine - or any cloud VM for that matter? [closed]

I want to create a virtual development machine on the could for iOS development. I understand it is against Mac OS License agreement to install it on non-Apple hardware. But is there a LEGAL solution to have such VM on any cloud provider?

I also know about MacinCloud but I'm looking for a cheaper solution.

But is there a LEGAL solution to have such VM on any cloud provider?

There are no legal solutions to run a OS X VM on ANY cloud provider. Microsoft's, Amazon's, and Google's cloud computing solutions do not use Apple hardware.

Somebody would need to use Apple hardware as their backend server in order to provide virtual machines for cloud computing. The example you used is not cloud computing, they rent you physical hardware, thats the reason they are expensive.
