I have created a Virtual machine on Azure cloud. I want to figure out a mechanism of connecting Ssis with clients on-premises (non-cloud) SAP system. Is there any ssis utility that I can install that will breathe behind clients firewall and pass the data to Azure SQL database?
There is a tool called Microsoft Data Management Gateway for connecting from Azure to on-premise:

We create a windows GCE server from the google image (without SQL server).
Can we install the SQL server (with our on-prem license with software assurance) to this GCE server? or we have to create our own image and create the server from it?
If you have License Mobility as part of Software Assurance, you can assign a SQL Server license to virtual machines running on multi-tenant hosts or on sole-tenant nodes.

Google Cloud SQL Server FAQ
I am new to Azure. I have a requirement to move data from on-premise to Azure SQL database. However, I have to use/execute the existing SSIS packages on Azure. I am thinking of using SSIS IR for executing SSIS packages. With this IR, is it also possible to move data from on-premise to Cloud or do I need a self hosted IR as well?
Thanks!
is it also possible to move data from on-premise to Cloud
Yes but you need to join the SSIS-IR to a VNET which in turn has connectivity to on prem.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/join-azure-ssis-integration-runtime-virtual-network
VNET connectivity to on prem is achieved with a VPN or Express link from on prem to your VNET. There are varying degrees of complexity.
If you are going to undertake a lot of hybrid network projects (on prem joined to Azure) you should begin provisioning a VPN or Express route now.
According to the official document：
Self-hosted IR:
You can connect to the on-premise SQL Server via Self-hosted IR in Azure Data Factory. You can set up a Copy activity in ADF to copy data from on-premise db to Azure SQL.
You will need to install Self-hosted IR on an on-premises machine or a virtual machine inside a private network.
It has high availability and scalability, you can install Self-hosted IR on multiple compute nodes and form a group.
Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime:
To lift and shift existing SSIS workload, you can create an Azure-SSIS IR to natively execute SSIS packages.
You need to do:
Deploy SSIS packages to Azure.
Create an Azure-SSIS integration runtime in data factory.
Pricing:
Self-hosted integration runtime princing.
SQL Server Integration Services Pricing
After comparing prices, we can see SSIS IR is more expensive than Self-hosted IR.
Conclusion:
I suggest you to use Self-hosted IR directly, it is simpler, more convenient and cheaper.
When subscribing to the Azure SQL SaaS. Can I get access to SSIS and SSRS?
SSIS: Does a Azure SQL subscription allow me to build SSIS package on my local computer.
SSRS: Do I need another on-premises license to run a reporting server? As I understand, there is no SaaS version for SSRS, does this mean I will have to buy a full SQL server license for reporting?
Thank you in advance.
Microsoft's SaaS offering for BI and Reporting is Power BI. Which is adding support for traditional SSRS reports, and self-service data flows. See announcement here.
And if for all SQL Server development, you can always use the free SQL Server Developer Edition and SQL Server Data Tools on your local machine.
You need to have a VM to run SSRS which means you need IAAS. For SSIS you have Azure support using Integration Runtime means you would be using SSIS Catalog in Azure SQL Database.
When you procure a VM, you could always opt for VM with Sql Server installed else you could bring your own licensed version with you. Also there is the free Sql Server Developer edition available for solely personal usage. For SSIS, not really that you have to make the development in cloud - you would be using SSDT and then publish your packages to cloud.

I noticed an error in my event log today that states:
The SQL Server Integration Services 10.0 service failed to start due
to the following error: The service did not start due to a logon
failure.
The service is configured to use ./sqluser but I cannot find this login with the domain.
What exactly is this services used for? What login should I be using for this service and what rights/privileges does the user need for this service to function properly. I am using SQL 2008 under Windows Server 2008 r2.
What exactly is this services used for
Managing Integration Services
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services includes the Integration
Services service, a Windows service for managing Integration Services
packages. The Integration Services service is available only in SQL
Server Management Studio.
Running the Integration Services service provides the following
management capabilities:
Starting remote and locally stored packages
Stopping remote and locally running packages
Monitoring remote and locally running packages
Importing and exporting packages
Managing package storage
Customizing storage folders
Stopping running packages when the service is stopped
Viewing the Windows Event log
Connecting to multiple Integration Services servers
The Integration Services service is installed when you install the
Integration Services component of SQL Server. By default, the
Integration Services service is started and the startup type of the
service is set to automatic. The service must be running to monitor
the packages that are stored in the SSIS Package Store. The SSIS
Package Store can be either the msdb database in an instance of SQL
Server or the designated folders in the file system.
The Integration Services service is not required if you only want to
design and execute Integration Services packages. However, the service
is required to list and monitor packages using SQL Server Management
Studio.
What login should I be using for this service and what rights/privileges
Managing the Integration Services Service
By default, the Integration Services service runs in the context of
the NETWORK SERVICE account.
I have not found a simplified list of what is required for the service to run correctly but this article describes how to connect to a remote SSIS service.
I'll keep browsing MSDN articles
how to convert SSIS packages into Cloud azure.
Also please can you tell me something about SSIS packages and what is not supported in CLoud.
SSIS is not supported in SQL Azure at all for now.
If you have to run it, you have 3 options that I can see:
Install SQL Server standard on a VM role in the cloud and run it on that.
Put your database in the cloud, but run the package on a local machine and just connect to the remote database.
Rewrite your SSIS logic as an Azure worker role

I install the dll on my sqlAzure server and I use it and I can manage my packages online.
