Standard BI components and Azure Analysis Services Power BI SQL DW Functions

Analysis Services in the cloud Managed SSAS Ent Tabular engine in the Azure Cloud (PaaS) Supports 1200 compatibility level models Pause and resume resources Scale Up/Down Secure - Org AAD authentication (no LiveId), Azure Blob Server Side Encryption Cloud and On-Premise data sources Familiar tools (SSDT, SSMS, PowerShell)

Org AAD Authentication Supports only Azure Active Directory organizational accounts Workaround for LiveId Go to Active Directory section at http://manage.windowsazure.com Open Default domain (*.onmicrosoft.com) Create new account Set as Administrator during service provisioning

Query processing units (QPUs) Unit of measure in Azure Analysis Services Based on a set of typical analytical queries and processing commands run on Azure and determines how many transactions are completed per second under fully loaded conditions 20 QPUs is about 1 pretty fast core

Data sources Cloud On-premises* SQL database SQL Server SQL Data Warehouse APS Oracle Teradata * On-premises data sources require On-premises Data Gateway installation

Explore your data and connection Cloud On-premises Power BI Service Power BI Desktop Power BI Embedded – coming Excel SSMS Connection to asazure://<region>.asazure.windows.net/<servername> Used port 443 Latest client providers are required

Explore your data and connection SSMS - Enable Azure AD authentication for SSAS [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Microsoft Analysis Services\Settings] "AS AAD Enabled"="True" Excel – Windows Authentication is not supported yet, User/Password only Power BI Service – connect from Power BI Desktop, publish to web. Connection from web is not supported yet Impersonation Cloud sources/On-Premises with SQL Authentication – Service Account. On-Premises with Windows Authentication – User/Password, In-Memory Only

User management Users must be in your Azure Active Directory. Usernames must be by organizational email address or UPN. Add users: Role assignment in Azure AD TMSL in SSMS and PowerShell

Connection Troubleshooting Ensure that you use the latest drivers Clear Azure AD cache C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\ Delete the AADCacheOM folder.
