For anything AI-related, we encourage you to read Chapter 8, which is fully dedicated to AI. Chapter 9 covers the security-related aspects of data and non-data workloads. Let’s see how infrastructure enablers can help bridge environments.
Infrastructure enablers
Today, most data sources are isolated from the public Internet, requiring the use of infrastructure components to establish secure connectivity between data services and those sources. Historically, the on-premises data gateway (ODG) was the primary solution for enabling cloud-based services such as Power BI to access on-premises data sources.
