I have no idea how Azure licenses stuff - I wouldn't have thought that you could buy a Datacenter server license for MS's own cloud solution, but what do I know?
I think that DC might be the license that is provided. I do not believe that you can bring your own license, but what you get does come with a license of some sort.
Getting a DC license in that case seems weird to me then, unless it allows you more resource usage than standard (does it in Server 2012 R2?) Of course it allow allows for you to run all the VMs under a single hardware server as well - but I'm guessing that the licensing you're getting as part of Azure isn't a full DC license, additionally, because it is cloud based, you wouldn't be properly licensed in a situation like that anyway since MS could move your workload onto different hardware without you ever knowing it, and now you'd be out of compliance.
So, if you really need to run 10 servers on Azure, you just need to purchase 10 instances, right?
