Elastic Cloud vs Elastic Azure Marketplace Template

I am developing an ASP.NET application that will be hosted on Azure, and that will be utilizing ElasticSearch (via NEST). Looking at the deployment options for ElasticSearch, looks like I can use the Elastic Cloud to host my ElasticSearch engine (as an ElasticSearch service) and have my ASP.NET app communicate with it (not sure all the details at the moment).

Then I noticed there is an Elastic Azure Marketplace Template as well. Does this use the ElasticSearch service in the Elastic Cloud behind the scenes, or is this really an engine hosted on Azure? If the latter, I assume since everything is co-located on Azure, performance would be better.

Would like to know the differences between the two options, and the pros/cons for using one over the other knowing that I'll be hosting the ASP.NET application on Azure.

The marketplace solution is just a "bunch" of VMs. So its essentially a shortcut to deploy elastic search on your own vms. whereas Elastic Cloud is a SaaS service, you dont have to manage it. you just use it.
