Xclip is only a client that speaks to your X server. Do you have one installed and running? I haven't used Azure in a while, but my recollection is that their version of Ubuntu lacks an X server. Do you have the same problem when you try Ubuntu on your own machine instead of Azure?

Microsoft's Azure and Apple's MacOS do not run an "X server" by default, and thus there is no DISPLAY for xclip to connect to.

Having this issue on regular Ubuntu. X server seems to be running just fine. Any ideas what can this be?
