Power BI Data Gateway - Cloud Service
Hi,
To one of my customer I have created some Power BI reports and uploaded to the on-premise report server. The data source are connected to another on-premise SQL server.
Now they need the report in cloud server and for that I have installed the required Power BI data gateway and configured to connect SQL Server.
The customer security team questions me in which format the data gateway sends the information to Power BI reports in cloud service. Whether it will convert to XML or JSON or any other format. Can anyone answer me ?
Hi Anonymous ,
Refer the gateway architecture first: On-premises data gateway architecture
The cloud service creates a query and the encrypted credentials for the on-premises data source. The query and credentials are sent to the gateway queue for processing. The gateway cloud service analyzes the query and pushes the request to Azure Service Bus. Service Bus offers a reliable and secure platform for asynchronous transfer of data and state.
Data is transferred between different applications and services using messages. A message is in binary format and can contain JSON, XML, or just text. For more information, see Integration Services white paper.

All data requested and transmitted by Power BI is encrypted in transit using HTTPS to connect from the data source to the Power BI service. A secure connection is established with the data provider, and only once that connection is established will data traverse the network.
