This can easily be done with an ARM (Azure Resource Manager) template. This is a JSON template which defines objects to be deployed. In your case, you would want to deploy a VM with a custom script extension. Upon provisioning of the VM, the Azure Resource Manager will fetch the supplied files and run your custom powershell. See the example below, and replace the line https://<YOUR-BLOB-HERE>.blob.core.windows.net/resources/CUSTOM-POWERSHELL-SCRIPT.ps1
with your blob and powershell script. To run the script you can use Azure powershell, as described here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/powershell-azure-resource-manager/
The key cmdlet for your purposes is New-AzureResourceGroup. The invocation will be something like:
Switch-AzureMode -Name AzureResourceManager
New-AzureResourceGroup -Name TestRG1 -Location "West US" -TemplateFile <YOUR-JSON-ARM-TEMPLATE>.json
See a list of ARM templates here for reference: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates . Sample template to modify to run custom code/install Azure powershell.
