    For an Azure VM you should still select On-premises when adding it to the gateway.

     

    Even though it’s in Azure, the gateway treats it as an on-prem data source. You don’t need a new gateway if you already have one, just make sure it can reach the VM over the network.

     

    Only in some cloud-native scenarios you can avoid the gateway, but for typical VM sources like SQL Server or files, you still use the on-premises gateway.
