Gateway on a virtual machine

[anglis]

Hi, I have a gateway on premise for a dashboard in Power BI service (online). It works, but I need turn off the laptop where the gateway is, so... I think in Azure, virtual machine especifically, if I configure it and I run the gateway there, could function it? I think is the cheapest solution because the database is actually in MySQL on an unknown server for me. Thanks for your help!

Hi @anglis 

Its always advisable to have an on-premises gateway on the servers which remain up 24*7, just have a look at specs of machines if they can support the gateway if yes then its the cheapest and safest way option without having to worry about laptop getting turned off.

Thank you so much @nitishsh91 I am going to take a look if there is any server available in the company that may be useful, greetings!
