Power BI Dataflows with Virtual Gateway
Hi Anonymous ,
Virtual network (VNet) data gateways (Microsoft-managed) eliminate the overhead of installing, updating, and monitoring on-premises data gateways for connecting to data sources associated to a VNet. VNet data gateways also provide the capability of connecting from Power BI to applicable Azure data sources using AAD Single Sign-On for Direct Query(currently not available on the on-premises data gateway).
More details: Announcing VNet Connectivity for PBI Datasets (Public Preview) | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
About virtual data gateways will be available for Power BI dataflows and data marts, You can create an idea here and vote for it. And wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.

Thank you for the partial answer. VNET integration is supported for Power Platform Dataflows yet not for Power BI dataflow.
Are the Power Platform Dataflows a different code base? If not why is the same integration not offered to Power BI DataFlows?
If I understand, correctly, Power Platform Dataflows require a premium connector (EXTRA COST) to connect to an Azure SQL Server. So why should I suggest to my customers to spend more money if they want to secure a connection to Power BI. Yes, I can suggest using a VM and private endpoints. Let me repeat MORE MONEY, on top of Power BI Premium costs.
Can someone help me understand the situation? Or do I suggest that its just Microsoft want to charge as much as possible?
