    Hi. The recommendation is a VM running 24/7 to make sure it will be turned on when it has to run a refresh. You can create a VM in azure and install a gateway there. Make sure that the VM can read the data sources. It must be able to connect with the data sources in order to be the bridge between Power BI Service and the data.

    You can also configure more than one administrator for the gateway. You will start with one account and the you can add members in gateway admin center.

    Hope this helps,

Ibarrau,

 

thank you for your feedback.

 

Our company is going to request a VM on Azure Cloud.

Are all VMs on Azure Cloud able to read and connect to data sources?

That's up to your team. The owners of the data source have specific configurations, network, etc to provide access. It will depend on that kind of configuration if the Azure VM will have access or not. Azure will not provide access automatically unless the data is in an azure service.
