Is it possible to use an Azure virtual machine as an Active Directory server with ADFS 2.0 and integrate it with ACS ?

Having AD server (with RMS also) in cloud is an ask which I have heard time to time from Azure users and it sure is a great addition to have it running in Windows Azure or any cloud. Various organization's IT is asking the same as well however As of now with current Windows Azure it is not possible.
A few might suggest that using Windows Azure VM Role however, I would say that there are concern over that as well do to persistence and other issues so I would say it is not possible with Windows Azure VM Role as well and there are other issues related with Active Directory product as well to run in Cloud scenarios.
If I answer it directly, I would say as of now it is not supported and suggested scenario to have AD on Windows Azure and will not work due to various reasons.
