R script cloud

[JonMKDD]

Hello, 

I am trying to implement the usage of R scripts with datasets already uploaded to the cloud (so the computation tax is done in the cloud as opposed to my machine). 

Some of the machine learning models I am testing take up to four hours to build on my company supplied laptop. 

It seems like much of the functionality within power BI report building is suppressed once working in the cloud. 

Any suggestions?
