Power BI - Gateway to Azure SQL Database v Amazon RDS

Question

I know for Power BI that you don't require the On-Prem Gateway to refresh data for Azure SQL Database.

Surprisingly I'm struggling to find information about Amazon RDS. Do you require the On-Prem Gateway to refresh data in the Power BI Service for Amazon RDS?

Answer 1

RDS is effectively a MySQL instance. MySQL requires a gateway.

Here is an extract from the list of supported connectors and requirements.

You can see that Redshift does not need a gateway, however MySQL (RDS) does.
