BourneXian Hi!
Sure — here are direct answers to your questions:
Q: Does Power BI connect to Dataverse over Microsoft’s internal backbone network without the need for a VNET data gateway?
A: Yes, Power BI connects to Dataverse using Microsoft’s internal backbone network. No VNET data gateway is required.
Q: Does this still apply if Power BI is in Region A and Dataverse is in Region B?
A: Yes, the connection still uses Microsoft’s backbone network across regions. However, aligning regions is recommended for better performance and compliance.
Q: What are the best practices in this case?
A:-
Deploy Power BI workspaces in the same region as your Dataverse environment.
-
Use import mode or dataflows if latency affects DirectQuery performance.
-
Monitor and enforce data residency and compliance using Microsoft Purview or Defender for Cloud.
