You have introduced VNet data gateways, but only for Power BI and Datasets.
But in our tenant for example, all of our Azure resources are behind private endpoints for security, this locks out Power Platform completely as it has to communicate over public endpoints to our company Azure components.
Using something like VNet data gateways we can open up our Azure private network to Power Platform. So we can have our apps and flows communicate to things like Key Vault, SQL, etc that are behind private endpoints.

Hi,
our customer requested something similiar to this from us.
We have several Power Platform Environments.
For each of those we activated the "Data Export" Feature to export Data into it's own Azure Application Insights Instance.
We now have a new requirement to use "Azure Private Link Scopes" to allow data ingestion into App Insights only from the VNET.
We activated this private link scope on App Insights by setting the toggle buttons in the Azure Portal.
Now after setting that up, our App Insights instance do not receive Power Platform data anymore.
It worked before.
We already talked to the Power Platform support team and they confirmed to us, that this is not currently supported (TrackingID#2311160050004936)
Therefore we support this request and think it should be possible for Power Platform environments to communicate via private networks (VNET).
Best regards
Yasin
