VNet Gateway for Azure Databricks

Hi everyone

We have setup a VNet Gateway to connect Power BI to Azure - this works successfully for Azure SQL, but fails for Azure Databricks.

Azure SQL uses a private endpoint.

We use front-end private endpoints for authentication on Databricks.  We have checked the Azure firewall logs and cannot see any request denials when attempting to connect.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Any suggestions of what might be causing it?

Hi @JamesDrydenFCG -It is due to several potential misconfigurations or network limitations that you're experiencing with connecting Power BI to Azure Databricks through a VNet Gateway.

Enable logging on the Power BI Gateway to see if any errors are being reported during the connection attempt.

check the below configurations, like try connecting to Databricks directly from a machine in the same VNet:Use a tool like Databricks CLI, Azure Data Studio, or any other SQL client to connect to the Databricks private endpoint.If this works, the issue lies with the Power BI Gateway setup.
