Answer 1

You can set up a Azure VM with SQL Server, start up the SSRS Reporting Configuration Manager. Go to SQL Server Management studio on your VM and create a linked server to your existing SQL Database. Create your queries in the VM database to reference the linked server's data. Then create your reports using the database on the VM, but those queries will be pulling the data from your non-VM database.
