Hi Anonymous , markive ,

 

This is my understanding as of Nov 2021.

There are serious challenges with implementing CI/CD using Power BI with the way it is architected at the moment

In my case, I have a shared dataset (PBIT) and multiple PBIX reports around the shared dataset

  1. PBIT files are binary. This prevents any Pull Request review (an essential step prior to CI/CD)
  2. You cannot upload a PBIT to Power BI service using the REST API . You will have to convert it to PBIX by opening the PBIT using Power BI desktop

 

 

 

Overall the CI/CD story is non-existent.
