How to do data analysis on SQL Server

Hi all,

I'm trying to pull data from MS SQL server, do some analysis, create a new table and push it back to the server, daily and automatically. Currently, I used RODBC in R Studio to achieve. I set a running schedule for my R studio to run the code everyday.
I hope to improve the whole process and I want to make the process independent on my physical PC. I searched and I found that Azure could be my solution but I'm not sure where to start.

Appreciate if anyone could help!
