Run robocopy script from azure platform as a service

I have the need to run a Robocopy script that is used to perform some custom synchronization flows from one of our SharePoint online sites to another (we tried Power Automate, didn't do what we wanted).

 Right now, the script is running on a workstation VM we used dev/test of it. I asked the Azure Q&A bot if it knew of an Azure service we could run this on, and it said there isn't one and to keep running it from a VM. Does anyone know if this is accurate or have a better idea?

Thanks!

    Hi Brian,

    Well staring with your robocopy script Azure doesn’t have a specific service for running it. However, you could consider some alternatives:

    Also, for migrating files to Azure, consider using AzCopy, a command-line utility designed for high-performance uploading, downloading, and copying data to and from Microsoft Azure Blob, File, and Table storage. Remember to test in a dev/test environment before deploying to production
