Is it not possible to create a Virtual Network Data Gateway with a Pro license?
I'm trying to connect to SQL Server using VNet and Private Endpoint, but when setting up the Virtual Network Data Gateway in PowerBI, it doesn't seem to allow me to use the Pro license.
The only option I see is for Premium Per User - Reserved (PP3 SKU), am I missing something here? Why can't I set this up with a Pro license?
justanewuser See the first bullet point requirement here: Create virtual network (VNet) data gateways | Microsoft Learn
Details to consider when creating a VNet data gateway:
- VNET data gateways require a Power BI Premium capacity license ( A4 SKU or higher or any P SKU) or a Fabric license (any SKU).
- Before creating a VNet data gateway, check that the feature is supported in your region.
- The creation of VNET data gateways across tenant boundaries isn't supported.
- The metadata (name, details, data sources, encrypted credentials, and so on) for all your VNet data gateways are stored in your Power BI home’s default region. However, the VNet data gateway runs in the same region as your Azure VNet. Sometimes, there's a difference between the default environment of Power Platform and the default region of Power BI. This might impact the regions you pick.
