Easy way to set up Powebi on cloud

[charleshale]

Does anyone know an easy way to get an instance of powerbi on the cloud?    For years I've used remote access with a workstation at my office but the workstation crashes every now and then, and with covid, getting into the office to reboot it is difficult.    So ideally I could have a power bi desktop setup but in the cloud instead of on my workstation.    App.powerbi.com doesn't appear to have the functionality of the desktop client so it doesn't seem like a workaround.    I'd prefer something a networking dummy can do - so no server setups and virtual machines.   Does such a thing exist?   Thank you

@charleshale - Nope, you need to provision a virtual machine in Azure and install Power BI on it. It's pretty dirt simple to setup. If you have never done it, it's an hour. Someone who knows what they are doing, 15 minutes.

@charleshale ,You could install and run Power BI on a Virtual Machine, and remote in to that Virtual Machine.
Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/virtual-machines/
AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/tutorials/launch-windows-vm/
