Hopefully simple questions if someone has used Power BI with SQL Server in AWS...
Amazon RDS offers SQL Server in AWS. Connections to the SQL Server instance use a server name along the lines of:
sqlsvr-pdz.abcd12340.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com,1433
Reference:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerInstance.html
Will the Power BI service be able to refresh (data import, not direct query) from a SQL DB in AWS?
Since this isn't on-prem, I assume an Enterprise Gateway isn't needed?
But how does the Power BI service differentiate between an on-prem server and a cloud one?
Has anyone used Power BI with a database in AWS - were there any issues? (e.g. do firewall/ports in AWS need to be opened to allow the Power BI service to connect?).
Thanks
