I am trying to understand what is the right architecture to use to access data from servers hosted on a private network (still running on Azure but not publicly accessible) and the Azure Data Factory service.
On some documentation Microsoft mentions the Integration Runtime as the solution:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/concepts-integration-runtime
While on other documentation it refers to a Data Gateway: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-gateway
Both articles seem fairly recent. The two applications have different recommended requirements (one mentions 8 CPU cores! Which is an overkill for my requirements to ship a few hundred megabytes per night)
Given that the data sources are running on Azure, just not publicly accessible, is there a way to connect Azure Data Factory directly?
