How can I move my on-prem gaming server into Azure?

I need help on how I would move my windows gaming server into the cloud? Here is what I need to move:

Website promoting the Game,
Downloadables for the Game installer,
Additional game objects to be downloaded as needed (images, models, AI scripts, level files),
Multiplayer API,
All game development and source code,
User accounts DB, Trophy and achievement dB,
Logging and reporting.
What is the best way to move my existing server into Azure sticking with windows environment? The game is becoming more popular and will soon out grow my machine and network connection. How many VM's would I need? Storage? Data Bases, network connections, etc...

It seems the issue is more related to Azure, so I removed the unrelated tag. Thanks for your understanding!
