It Would be nice to install PowerBi gateway to docker instead of dedicated virtual machine. Dedicated VM -> just waste of resources, docker offers better automation and failover as well.

RE: Support for docker installation

We are hosting multiple customer databases on 1 SQL Instance and trying to give customers access to that data via PowerBI requires 1 VM with the PowerBI Gateway installed per customer.

This isn't viable on a large scale so supporting containers would be much more efficient way of doing this.

RE: Support for docker installation

We are trying to host multiple customer databases on the same machine in azure so having more than one gateway would help us isolate them . Putting them in docker would be much less expensive than a vm per customer

RE: Support for docker installation

This would be very much needed in Azure deployments. Any update regarding this?
