Power BI DirectQuery with AWS Redshift
Hi,
I want to subscribe to Power BI Pro, but I need to make sure of a few things.
Can Power BI Pro access data with DirectQuery mode to AWS Redshift (with private network)?
Is it with Power BI IP whitelist on AWS Redshift or what?
Thank you,
Hi Irvanda ,
Yes, Power BI Pro can access AWS Redshift in DirectQuery mode via a private network. Use an on-premises data gateway to securely connect Power BI to your Redshift cluster in a private VPC. Alternatively, whitelist Power BI's IP ranges (published by Microsoft) in Redshift's security group for direct access. Ensure proper permissions and optimize queries for best performance.
If this post helped please do accept this as a solution and give a kudosThanks In Advance

Hi Akash,
Thank you for the answer.
What do you mean by on-premises data gateway?
Where is the setting and what is it like?
Are there any references?Could you help with the Power BI IP range information?

Hi Irvanda ,
On-Premises Data Gateway: A tool to securely connect Power BI to private data sources (like AWS Redshift) without exposing them to the internet. Install it on a machine with access to Redshift and configure it in Power BI settings.

Power BI IP Ranges: If not using a gateway, whitelist Power BI's IP ranges in Redshift's security group (default port: 5439). Download the updated ranges from
