Power BI Service Private End Point
I want to create a private endpoint for Power BI service to securely access Azure data sources. In the Microsoft documentation "Private endpoints for accessing Power BI" they refer to creating a "Power BI resouse in the Azure portal" with type "Microsoft.PowerBI/privateLinkServicesForPowerBI".
I would like to find out what resource is actually being created and the cost of this resource? I also want to make sure that this does not in any way create a Power BI Premuim resource with similar costs.
Has anyone done this before for the Power BI service and any advice?
Thank you!

Hi Grins
From my understanding this will use the Azure Private Endpoints and the costs will be associated to having the Azure Private Endpoint.
Here are more details on how to set it up

Because the private endpoint is only routing data, there are no other costs besides the private endpoint. Here is the pricing for the end point: Pricing - Azure Private Link | Microsoft Azure
Hi GilbertQ
Thank you for your response!
The resource needs to be created before you create the actual private endpoint (in the tutorial) and you need to explicitly accept the cost of this resource. After which, you continue on to create the private endpoint and select this resource as one of the parameters.
Logically, I would think this resource links the private endpoint to the actual Power BI service, but just want to ensure it does not create any Premuim type resource with an unexpected cost.
Here is the the JSON to create this resource:
{ "$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#", "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0", "parameters": {}, "resources": [ { "type":"Microsoft.PowerBI/privateLinkServicesForPowerBI", "apiVersion": "2020-06-01", "name" : "<resource-name>", "location": "global", "properties" : { "tenantId": "<tenant-object-id>" } } ] }
As far as I am aware this should not cause any additional costs.

Hi Anonymous
I am not certain that this solves the problem as yet.
I will be implementing the private enpoint into vpn and monitor associated costs of this resource.
Once confirmed I will accecpt as solution.
I appreciate the assitance!
