Azure SQL Managed Instance with Power BI
amitchandak Thank you.
I was worried because Managed is not exactly cloud but our SQL Server on-prem DB managed on Azure Cloud via virtual network. The virtual network part got me questioning if the refreshes will work the same way as on cloud.
Thanks,
HV

Thanks amitchandak
I went through the documentation. It was very helpful. The one question I still have is about scheduled refreshes. Does power BI scheduled refreshes work directly (since Azure SQL Managed is on cloud) or will it need a gateway to do so?
Best,

Refer :https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data#accessing-cloud-data-sources
"Datasets that use cloud data sources, such as Azure SQL DB, don't require a data gateway if Power BI can establish a direct network connection to the source. Accordingly, you can manage the configuration of these data sources by using the Data source credentials section in the dataset settings. As the following screenshot shows, you don't need to configure a gateway connection."
