Azure Cloud Service host on-premises application server

Is Azure Cloud Service designed to install and run some custom software, which I expect to be up and running 100% of time, let's say RabbitMQ server or something other?

The best approach for installing a custom software service like a RabbitMQ queue would be to host it on a dedicated Azure virtual machine. Due to maintenance and OS patching, a single VM won't provide you 100% uptime, so if that's what you need you'd run it in a distributed set up across two or more VMs configured in an availability set.

Azure also has its own queue storage service platform which is covered by a 99.9% or greater availability SLA.
