SQL Server Agent available on Azure?

Question

I would like to delete records from an database table on Azure when the table reaches a certain size.
I would normally do this by scheduling a stored procedure job using SQL Server Agent.
Is the SQL Server Agent available on databases held on Azure?
Should I use an alternative approach?
Thanks

Hello ,
Please take look on :
Scheduling job on SQL Azure
We can execute sql procedures on Azure based on our need (schedule configuration).
Create a mobile service.
Create a scheduler. Mention the database to be used for this.
Configure the scheduler for the frequency.
Click on tab Script. The script can be written in java script or .net. The script should have the code to run a proc.
 I used below code to run dbo.ExecuteDataRequest procedure Azure database.
 function Execute_Process_Request() {
      console.log("Executing ExecuteDataRequest...");
      mssql.query('Exec dbo.ExecuteDataRequest',{
         success: function(results){
         console.log("Finished the Process Request job.");
          error: function(err) {
            console.log("error is: " + err);
Find the new user added which will run the scheduler (Under Login folder of Security of Azure db server). Need to grant execute permission to the new user on the database where we need to execute the job.
