How to host power BI reports in Amazon web services?. After I prepare reports in power BI, how i can host the reports in AWS so that internal users can access the reports without login credentials. I am planning to publish the BI reports on AWS so that internal users can access it on cloud.

I have some CSVs in AWS S3. Those are connected with a dashboard developed in Power BI desktop. The data is connected through "Simba Athena ODBC Driver".
Now, the problem is, when I am publishing that dashboard from Desktop to make that available into cloud at "https://app.powerbi.com/" it is giving error as
"There is no gateway to access the data source extension".
How to configure the gateway for S3 Bucket data for Power BI? Please help
The refreshing using the Athena driver requires a gateway.
I am trying to connect to my Azure Data Explorer database in a NON-PRODUCTION azure tenant via Azure B2B. My B2b user is an Admin on the ADX database as assigned within the Azure Portal and I can run queries fine from within the ADX Queries window. When I sign in via Power BI and try to connect, it sees the ADX cluster but does not see the databases. If I specify the database directly in the Power BI Connection window, I get the following error...
Unable to connect
We encountered an error while trying to connect.
Details: "Access to the resource is forbidden."
I was expecting access to the database but I do not think the ADX connector in Power BI can authenticate to an ADX database via Azure B2B credentials. I think it can only pass native credentials to that specific Azure Active Directory.
Can Power BI be deployed on Google Cloud Platform(GCP) and Amazon Web Services(AWS)?
You can connect to GCP and AWS data sources, but the Power BI Service is a O365/Azure service only.
You can install Power BI Desktop on windows VMs in GCP and AWS, but published reports will go to the Power BI Service. You also have the option of deploying Power BI Report Server on VMs in GCP or AWS
Context
I need to start sharing Power BI reports with other users (all users are Power BI Pro licenses).
Reports will be in live connection with an Analysis Services and my original data source are on-premise, therefore, I need to install a gateway to transfer data into the cloud.
Question
We already have a capable server for installing the gateway, therefore, my questions are:
Is it wise to install a Gateway VM on that server even though the server is used for other applications?
I don't have access to Power BI Admin Portal and it is tricky to get access to it since we are a very big company all over the world. Can I use an on premises data gateway without a Power BI Admin account? (While installing gateway just adding my account as admin)
We have recently able to connect Power BI desktop with AWS athena through ODBC,
Now we would like to publish report to Power BI services.
My query is , how to setup a gateway for AWS Athena? as I understood gateway is only applicable for on premise databases, therefore is it applicable for AWS Athena?
Thanks and Regards

You need to download the PowerBI Gateway application and install it on the machine that is supposed to act as a gateway.
Once you have this done you need to also setup the Athena ODBC connection on this machine too, probably with a similar name. Afterwards you can configure the report to use this gateway to refresh the dataset.
Start by designing a dashboard in Microsoft Power BI Desktop with the help of the Athena data source connector for Power BI and the Athena ODBC driver.
When you finish creating your dashboard, you publish it to the Microsoft Power BI Service. To see your data on Microsoft Power BI Service, you need to install the Microsoft Power BI on-premises data gateway in your AWS account—it works like a bridge between Microsoft Power BI Service and Athena.
Finally, you configure Athena as a new data source in Microsoft Power BI Service.
