  • Artikel

This step involves deploying an Azure SQL Server Database that can be used to host the Entity Store Database.  This is will be the data source for the Power BI Embedded Service created in the previous step.  Entity Store Database utilizes non-clustered column index store (NCCI) which is only supported on the Premium tier of SQL.  For more details review the article here.
