Copying the answer by @Bruno Faria on Server Fault (https://serverfault.com/questions/722796/install-ssl-certificate-on-azure-cloud-service-vm/722811#722811) as I am not allowed to mark this question is duplicate of the one asked there:
The tutorial you are following is for web/worker roles cloud services and not Virtual Machines. Although a VM uses the cloud service layer, it's not the same thing. All you have to do is to install the certificate as you would in any windows server machine and add the Host A register to your DNS provider.

Update: In case of Apache (Linux)

Also, make sure to reserve your public in order to keep it in a event of shutdown or restart of your virtual machines.
