How to Migrate An Existing DataGateway with PowerShell
Out of curiosity - what is your reasoning for using a single cluster gateway?
I am pretty new to Microsoft environment and PowerBI, and I have to setup a DataGateway. Not because I mainly prefer to proceed with single cluster gateway. But as I understand, I will face the same issue anyway even though I have setup a multi cluster gateway too.
I don't know the background or the cost considerations of "each time when this instance is restarted or a new instance is provisioned" but I would look for something more permanent to avoid having to redo the gateway all the time. If you have multiple cluster members the load balancer will give the job to whichever cluster member is available, without a business interruption.
So, yes having a cluster mode with a load balancer is the best solution for resiliency and high-availability for sure. However, same problem will occur if we would like to have a code pipeline with a basic blue/green deployment. Instances might get replaced when there is a software update or even die. What I see microsoft doesn't provide a simple solution to fully automate this process easily which always requires a manual intervention.
