Hi @powerbiexpert22 

Thank you for reaching out Microsoft fabric community forum.
As mentioned by @hackcrr An on-premises gateway is not required. Azure SQL DB supports a cloud gateway connection, where you can configure it directly and specify it for your semantic model. In addition ,

You need a data gateway if you are connecting to an on-premises SQL Server database (not Azure SQL Database).
