Multiple Power BI services (or environments) under One Tenant

[mrmadhu]

Hello ,

We are starting with our power BI implementation and have a Power BI service up and running .

Now we want to have another Power BI service which we can use as a production environment.Can i have mutilple power bi services under same tenant ? how do i go about achieving this ?

Our developers are used to having Dev ,Test and Prod for all the applications and trying to mimic the same for Power BI .

What is the best way of implementing this ?

Appreciate any feedback !

Thanks

The same domain cannot have multiple Power BI service. If you require multiple tenants, they have to be in different domain. I have worked with multiple domains for exactly the same reason you are asking, and it is a bit more overhead to manage. Having them in the same tenant will easer to manage especially if you want to automate processes.

Some things to consider when implementing Dev, Test and Prod in the same tenant:
1. Use CICD with PBI Deployment Pipeline ( integration with Azure devops is supported and you get Repo)
2. Use different Fabric capacities for different environment ( workload in dev will not afferct workload in Prod)

3. Leverage Domain to label different environments
