SSRS in Azure

Question

I'm thinking of moving into the cloud with one of my SSRS applications.

At the moment the reports are on a virtual server with SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprice installed due to usage of data driven reports.

What I'm wondering is:
#1. Can I have the same functionallity in Azure for just buying a database with SSRS and still having data driven reports?
#2. Or do I need to create a virtual server and install SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprice?

Answer 1

if in #1 Azure means Windows Azure Reporting Services, an on-premise SSRS is not actually feature equivalent with Azure Reporting Services.

have a look at the feature comparison here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg430132

then you can decide if it meets your requirements or you have to go to option #2.
