Connecting Power BI to Postgres DB hosted on AWS RDS

Dear All,

 

I have a work in progress going on my side in order to allow our data science analysts to have access to real-time data. They will build the dashboard on their computers and then publish them to a centralized server, which will also have access to real-time data.

 

Here's our architecture:

- Postgres DB hosted on AWS-RDS. This database is behind firewalls (aws security groups). The external access is controlled by AWS-Bastion;

- My team installed a VPN into the AWS-Bastion in order to allow users endpoints to have a tunelled and secure access to our Postgres DBs;

 

Here's our need and how should I proceed deploying them (if they are plausible)? Follow:

- Our data-science analysts need their power bi client connected to our Postgres-DB instances hosted in AWS-RDS

- We need power bi installed on a dedicated server in order to have dashboards published and updated automatically with data pulled straight from our online database. I heard power bi server would fit these needs, however I understand it requires SQL Server DB, instead of Postgres DB.

 

Would you please give me a hand on these matters?

 

Thanks and Best Regads,

 

John Kraemer
