Azure SQL Server Managed Instance

Azure SQL server Managed Instance is a cloud data source, but inside virtual network. Data Loading and Reading will not be a public access. I am wondering how Power BI will handle this without a Gateway?

Hi, we just upgraded from SQL DB to managed instance, and our DirectQuery stopped working in the cloud service (connection to the managed instance works fine on PowerBI desktop). Has this been addressed/solved yet?

Hi Lydia, 

Good afternoon,

In our case, this is not working. Tried to connect Azure Managed Instance from PowerBI Service. 

Connection details: Public endpoint , Basic authentication method.

Here is the error:

Failed to update data source credentials: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)Hide details

Please let me know if gateway setup is needed or not ?

Thanks
