moving a backup from on-prem linux to azure

Good afternoon,

We are contemplating moving our linux based production postgres database to
our Azure subscription.  What is the most common method of moving a pg_dump
file to azure to perform a pg_restore?  (We are running postgres 9.4 - I
realize we would have to upgrade to at least 9.6 to restore to azure).

Any comments welcome.  Thank you,
