What is the best way to migrate SSRS reports to the cloud? The idea is that the reports are not a part of a distribution anymore. Instead, when users want to run reports from the existing Web application they get them from my company's cloud. So to the users it would be totally transparent except maybe new look. Am I heading right direction?

Thanks

    Hi,

    Currently SSRS do not have cloud version, viz, there is no SaaS for SSRS on Azure.
    You could only use a VM on Azure to host the SSRS server.

    Other choice is you could consider Power BI service. They could offer this kind of possibility but this is another software, that we may need to take little time to adapt : What is the Power BI service?

    Regards,
    Lukas

    @mark goldin You will need to host SSRS either on an Azure VM.

    In this link deployment topologies for SSRS on Azure VM are discussed.

    One method is to deploy SSRS to a VM and use Azure SQL Database as the data source.

    Once you deploy the VM containing SSRS, you can then connect SSRS to an Azure SQL DB. This article discusses connecting Azure SQL Database to SSRS.

    Hope it helps!!!

    Hi, is there any update on whether this is now possible, or is on the Azure PowerBI roadmap?
