    Hi icassiem ,

     

    I guess you are looking for redshift conectivity in Power BI. 

     

    Any user with appropriate database credentials can connect to redshift database.

     

    If the database is protected with firewall then On premises data gateway connection is required for Power BI service and appropriate VPN configuration is required to connect from Power BI desktop.

     

    Power BI desktop and service natively support redshift database. However you can use ODBC connection as well. 
    (Microsoft recommends native connector over ODBC). 

     

    Please refer to this page for more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/connectors/amazon-redshift

    I hope I answered your question.

Thank You very much tharunkumarRTK 

this what i was looking for, please clarify below:

1. Power BI desktop and service natively connectivity, i am not sure it's possible for Redshift Serverless?

2. The firewall, would this be internally set on Redshift Serverless DB or clients firewall, if internal can it be dropped or configured how?

I believe redshift native connector in power bi does  support serverless db as well.  However if you want to connect with your redshift profile then it is not possible  with native connector..

2. The firewall, would that be internally set on Redshift Serverless or clients firewall?

internall set from the AWS end.
