Turnkey Azure Instance for large models

[charleshale]

Does anyone know any easy ways to get a turnkey PBIX windows instance on Azure for chewing through larger models.   I have a model with several million rows that is killing my 48 core workstation -- next time I'm going to max our the RAM instead of the cores!

Hi @charleshale 

Do you mean:

You have large data, if importing the large data into Power BI Desktop, it will consume much RAM of your server,

you want to store data in the instance on Azure.

I'm not very clear about your requirements.

There are some reference how to integrate Power BI and Azure

Thank you, Maggie.  My requirement would be to essentially use PBIX files on a desktop instance that I access through remote connection on an azure cloud  instance.   As I understand it, it's possible to set this up, but one needs reasonably sophisticated IT chops because one has to configure the instance.  I am wondering if anyone knows of a turnkey SAAS type offering for this.
