Indeed, which brings me back to the original question, is there a way to run the data gateway in a container to have it running 24x7 in a cost-effective way?

Only one way to find out - the VPN will be the critical piece of the puzzle.  I don't think the container needs to be joined to your AD domain but the user logging into the gateway management app needs to successfully authenticate against your company's AD.

    Our AD is also hosted on Azure and we already have service accounts for the application in question that we can use for authentication.

    I am not sure a service account will cut it.  I am not talking about the account the gateway service runs under, I am talking about the gateway config user.

    lbendlin I see what you mean now, and is there any way to manage the gateway from powershell?

    yes, you can use PS5 with OnPremisesDataGatewayHAMgmt cmdlets, PS6.4+ with DataGateway cmdlets, or plain old Invoke-RestMethod calls for manual API wrangling.

     

    Not sure if any of these allow you to set a gateway up from scratch though.
