Yes Sunkari I believe you need an Azure subscription as you need to set up a Power BI Workspace Collection, and either a Azure SQL database or Azure SQL Datawarehouse (or HDInsights) - all done through the Azure Portal or using the API (which requires Azure credentials).  I think you get one month of free credits when you sign up to Azure?

 

It is worth setting up a poc so that you understand the current limitations of of the Embedded beta offering so that you can track if and when these limitations are overcome and you can provide feedback to the team.  My experience with the Power BI team so far is that they will move quickly to fill in the gaps.
