Power BI Gateway
Gateways are used to sync external data in and out of Power BI and are required for automated refreshes. In Enterprise mode, can also be used by Power Automate and PowerApps in Office 365. - Power BI Embedded:
Power BI REST API can be used to build dashboards and reports into the custom applications that serves Power BI users, as well as non-Power BI users. - Power BI Dataset:
A Power BI Dataset can work as a collection of data for use in Power BI reports, and can either be connected to or imported into a Power BI Report.A Dataset can be connected to and get its source data through one or more Dataflows. - Power BI Visuals Marketplace:
A marketplace of custom visuals and R-powered visuals. You can give life to your business data and take insight from this result. - Power BI Premium:
Capacity-based offering that includes flexibility to publish reports broadly across an enterprise, without requiring recipients to be licensed individually per user. Greater scale and performance than shared capacity in the Power BI Service - Power BI Datahub:
A data hub for discovering Power BI datasets within an organization’s Power BI Service so that datasets may be reused from one central location.It offers details on the things as well as an access point for working with them, such as building reports on top of them, utilizing them with Excel’s Analyze feature, accessing settings, controlling permissions, and more. - Power BI Report Server:

Within Power BI, the Datamart is a container which combines Power BI Dataflows, Datasets and a type of data mart or data warehouse (in the form of an Azure SQL Database) into the same interface. The interface then has the possibility of being a single place for administration of both the ETL layer (Dataflow), an intermediary data mart (with for instance storage of star schemas, dimension tables, fact tables), and finally the modelling layer (Dataset). - Power BI Dataflow:
A Power Query implementation in the cloud that can be used for data transformations to make a common Power BI Dataset that can be made available for several report developers through Microsoft’s Common Data Service. It can be used as an alternative to for example doing transformations in SSAS, and may ensure that several report developers use data that has been transformed in a similar way.
