How to host .net tcpclient listner in azure virtual machine

Question

I have written the TCPClient Listener to listen to a particular port which will send HL7 data to it. Code is working fine in local but we are facing issues when deploying to azure virtual machine.

How to deploy TCPClientListner in azure virtual machine. Should it be a webservice or worker process?

I was going over the net but not able to get the solution. Also looks like there's another option to deploy it in cloud services.

    int port = Convert.ToInt32(config["port"]);

    catch (Exception ex)

            {
                if (netStream.CanWrite)
                {
                    //echo the received data back to the client
                    netStream.Write(receivedByteBuffer, 0, bytesReceived);
                }

                totalBytesReceivedFromClient += bytesReceived;
            }
            var receivedMsg = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(receivedByteBuffer);

            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
        finally
        {
            // Close the stream and the connection with the client
            netStream?.Close();
            netStream?.Dispose();
            acceptTcpClient?.Close();
        }
    }
}
