OneDrive is only storage. Azure/AWS provides all the services (including storage) that business can basically rent. (webservices, databases, or full-blown servers)

As an example, my company uses Azure to host a couple of web applications that connect to a sql database. One web application takes input from around 250 customer pos terminals while the other is a manager/admin console handling around 70 manager/admin workstations. The cost is usually around $75/month.

The unreliability of my company ISP made self hosting impossible. We checked out Azure and found it very easy to setup and get working. Instant benefits were the ability to scale the web apps individually and the ability to use https. Over the last 2.5 years we have been using it, there has been a total of about 3 hours of downtime from outages...none at all for over a year now...that I know of anyway.

One thing that is available with a subscription is Visual Studio Online. I personally haven't found a good use for it yet. My code travels just fine on my laptop and I still prefer VS 2010 for most projects. (VS 2015 only when I have to) However, if I find myself on a computer without VS, I'm guessing it would work in a pinch.
