Powerbi Server Advice setup on Azure

[Ls1980]

Hi everyone,

I need to setup a PowerBi Server on an Azure VM for our consultancy.  We currently have only 5 users in the company, but we produce dashboards for a multitude of clients.   We don't want to use SAAS Powerbi as the cost is prohibitive at our size.

I have a few requirements :

- Need to be hosted in Azure.  

- Need to be able to give clients (with their own Microsoft Licences for PowerBi) access to specific dashboards.  I was told this would be simple using Microsoft EntraID.

I am pretty new to this and find the options on Azure overwhelming.   I have been reading up loads, but with such a myriad of options - it is a bit of a challenge.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?  What would be the best VM to use for Powerbi Server?   Anywhere I can find documentation outlining some steps to achieve this?

Any advice will be most appreciated.
