I believe that the requirements for the Power BI Gateway are 8 cores and 8 GB of memory so I would probably go with something like an a1.2xlarge:

@Greg_Deckler , at one point, Amazon does not provide a1.2xlarge for Windows to use.

I could appreciate the same. This type of instance does not support Windows. Which one have you used then?
