What is Clouds?
Power BI includes connectors for cloud platforms such as Azure, Google services, Amazon Web Services, and Salesforce. These connectors handle the authentication and data structure specific to each cloud provider, so users do not need to write custom code to reach the data. Cloud connectors are common in organizations that already store their data in a cloud warehouse or SaaS platform.
