Hosting SSRS databases in Azure SQL Managed Instance

Hello,

Thank you for writing this article, it surely cleared some things up.

However, I do have an additional question and I hope you can take your time to help me with this.

We're currently in the progress of wanting to move our application to Azure from an on-premise situation. One of the things holding us back is the SSRS issue. I understand that I need to create an Azure VM and I am comfortable with it.

However, I want my databases, plural, hosted as Azure SQL managed databases.

My question: how would I license this? Can I use an express version on the SSRS VM to hold it's two databases?

But then how would I license SSRS? Normally it is licensed through an SQL license, but as I said, I want to use it with multiple external managed Azure SQL databases.

Is this at all possible?
