    Just to update on resolution.. after almost a month of working with MS Power BI support team

    1. Whitelisting of *.powerbi.com urls - after group call, our system/network team proceeded with allow list - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/security/power-bi-allow-list-urls
    2. Installing On-Prem Data Gateway - initially support tried to install on my computer but did not work due to permission / proxy setting / dns configuration. In the end, system team install it in 1 of our VM (used by DBA to run SSIS packages) - environment somewhat both have access to internet (public) and intranet (private) network. 
    3. Configuring FQDN DNS - our connection to Azure MI is using with "privatelink" private endpoint. MS Azure MI support recommended the DNS config and our system team enable the connection to Azure MI FQDN without privatelink for Power BI Service.

Thank you for your insight lbendlin 
 
We can now narrow our issue;
1. Data source and Power BI Service needs to be in same tenant
- will check with Infra if they can do this.
2. To create Data gateway
- Which gateway should we go for? Is there difference between on-prem and vnet gateway?

Ideally you want to avoid a gateway (ie your data source is directly visible from Azure)

On-Prem:  requires you to set up multiple on-prem VMs that have direct line of sight to your data source

VNet:  managed by Azure, requires subscription.
