Hey mr_wizard ,

 

I'm unsure about the 2nd aspect, but you can use on-premises data gateways when Private Link is on! If you want to configure a gateway (register the gateway with the Power BI Service), the Private Link must be off. After configuring the gateway(s), you can use Private Link again. This means you have to think about your on-premises gateway architecture a little longer, as turning Private Link off and on again will affect the whole organization (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/data-integration/gateway/service-gateway-install).

 

Regards,

Tom

    I think I'm misunderstanding what you wrote.  Are you saying that Private Link and a gateway only conflict with each other when standing up a new gateway or reconfiguring an existing gateway?  That is, that the gateway will work as intended during "normal" use of the gateway (allow for dataset refreshes) when Private Link is turned on?

      Hey mr_wizard ,

       

      a configured gateway works as expected when private link is turned on.

       

      Configuring a new gateway requires private link turned off during configuring the new gateway.

       

      Not sure about re-configuring an existing gateway.

       

      Regards,

      Tom
