I am very interested in this new offering but had some questions:
1. How does data refresh work... do we just use a normal Power BI data connection to Tabular?
2. How does SSAS Azure pull data if that data is ON PREM... do we use a standard enterprise gateway so it can query our local SQL server for the data source to refresh the model?
3. Has anyone played around with this yet? Any gotchas or technical benefits with how it works with Power BI vs using an SQL SSAS Tabular IaaS VM in Azure? (I understand what the Azure SSAS offers as benefits, I mean does it behave differently with Power BI in anyway or are there no differences in data pulls, etc, etc...)
Thanks!
