A NAT gateway enables outbound connectivity for resources in an Azure Virtual Network. You can change the public IP addresses and public IP address prefixes associated with the NAT gateway changed after deployment.This article explains how to manage the following aspects of NAT gateway:Create a NAT gateway and associate it with an existing subnet.Remove a NAT gateway from an existing subnet and delete the NAT gateway.Add or remove a public IP address or public IP prefix.PrerequisitesAzure portalAzure PowerShellAzure CLIBicepAn Azure account with an active subscription.

Virtual Networks - REST API (Azure Virtual Networks)

And Azure services can be made through a private environment, with no network package going on public internet.Using Private Endpoints and a GatewayEach one, Power BI and Azure SQL, have part of the solution, which needs to be put together.Azure SQL: When we need an Azure SQL to be private, not exposed to the web, not even through the firewall protection, we use a private endpoint. We create a private endpoint for Azure SQL inside an Azure Virtual Network and disable public access. Azure SQL will only be accessible through the virtual network. Once the private endpoint is created, it’s possible to disable the public access at all.Power BI: When we need to access something behind a network barrier, we use a data gateway. For example, when we need to access a server on premises, we install a data gateway on premises and configure it in the portal.The solution becomes a matter of connecting the pieces: Create a virtual network on Azure, a private endpoint for Azure SQL and install a data gateway for Power BI. This last part requires a virtual machine. This would be what I would call a very “manual” process, managing a data gateway in a virtual machine for Power BI.Power BI has a new feature that makes this process easier and less “manual”: Virtual Network Data Gateways. This is the focus of this article.Power BI Virtual Network Data GatewaysPower BI has a feature called Virtual Network Gateway. In summary, it’s a data gateway created and Managed automatically by Power BI inside an Azure Virtual Network.This feature makes the process much more “automated” and less “manual”, including the management of gateway redundancy, for example.The limitation is the fact the Power BI tenant and the Azure tenant needs to be the same. If the tenants are not the same, you have two options:Revert to the Virtual Machine with a Data Gateway installedEstablish a network connectivity across tenantsIn addition, this feature requires a premium workspace. The reports accessing data through Virtual Network Data Gateways need to be premium or Power BI Premium Per User (PPU).Steps to build the solutionThese are the steps to build this solution:Build a Virtual Network in Azure. The Virtual network will create a private environment for you, instead of exposing your services to public internetBuild a private endpoint for Azure SQL. This will insert Azure SQL inside your private environment, eliminating the internet access from the service.Build the Power BI Virtual Network Data Gateway to link Power BI with your virtual networkCreate your data source on the Virtual Network Data Gateway. The data source will allow the Power BI access to your private Azure SQLI will skip the Virtual Network part, because this is a regular Azure feature. You can discover more about creating a virtual network here.Creating the Private EndpointThere are some networking considerations when creating a private endpoint. We will not try to be too specific and tell exactly what to do or not to do. Any company planning this architecture on
