SSIS and SQL Server on Azure VM

Question

The SSIS packages I am developing will eventually be deployed to a SQL Server instance hosted on a VM in Azure (IaaS NOT PaaS)

I have read conflicting answers about the type of connection to use in SSIS given SQL in Azure as a component.

I think the answer is

1. Azure PaaS (not VM) you must use ADO.NET
2. SQL Server on VM you can use either ADO.NET or OLEDB.

Can anyone confirm this is the case?

Thanks Tim

You are correct.
See http://www.toadworld.com/platforms/sql-server/w/wiki/10337.migrating-data-to-sql-azure-using-ssis . This should be good source of document that you should read through. Let me know if you have any more questions. My email is mebha@microsoft.com.
