## 6. Power BI
### 6.1 Deploying Power BI VM
- We need to deploy a Windows VM.
- Create the VM
- Basic settings
- Name it: `pbi-gateway-<your-env>`
- Use Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition
- Use Size: `Standard_DS1_v2`
- Use username: `datagatewayadmin`
- Set a good password and note it down
- Select the option `None` for Public inbound ports.
- Disk settings
- Defaults are fine. This barely needs any disk.
- Networking
- Attach to the virtual network `superhog-data-vnet-<your-env>`
- Attach to the subnet `services-subnet`
- For field `Public IP` set value `None`
- For setting `NIC network security group` select option `None`
- Management settings
- Defaults are fine.
- Monitoring
- Defaults are fine.
- Advanced
- Defaults are fine.
- Add tags:
- `team: data`
- `environment: <your-env>`
- `project: pbi`
- Try to connect with RDP at `pbi-gateway-<your-env>.<your-env>.data.superhog.com`.
### 6.2 Installing Power BI Data Gateway
- Login the VM.
- Follow the instructions here to download the installer in the VM and set it up: <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/data-integration/gateway/service-gateway-install>
- You will need to provide an account and credentials. It would be ideal to use a service account, and not personal accounts, to make the gateway independent of any single user.
- Once you login:
- Name the gateway `data-gateway-<your-env>`
- Set up a recovery key and store it safely
- Next, download these file on the VM and install it: <https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/releases/download/v4.0.10/Npgsql-4.0.10.msi>
- ATTENTION! During the installation process, you get to select if you want to activate the `Npgsql GAC Installation`. This option comes deactivated by default. You must turn it on. Click on it and select the `Will be installed on local hard drive` option.
- Finally, a note: if you want to use this gateway to connect to our PostgreSQL DWH (which you most probably want), you will need to disable forced TLS/SSL in the config of the PostgreSQL instance. This is because PBI is unable to use an SSL connection.
- To do this, go to the PostgreSQL isntance page on the Azure Portal.
- Click on the `Server parameters` section.
- Turn the `require_secure_transport` parameter to `Off`.
- Once you are done, you should be able to visit the PBI Service (the online UI), visit the gateways page in settings and see the gateway listed in the `On-premises data gateways` section.
