    Nowadays Power BI offers to install and create a new Gateway Cluster via cmdlet using the commands Install-DataGateway and Add-DataGatewayCluster.
    It would be really helpful a command to assign the installed gateway to an existing cluster in order to automatize the installation and login.

    I've automated the Gateway deployment, data source creation and data source user permissions on a single Gateway just to find adding a 2nd Gateway for resilience to the existing Cluster programmatically is unsupported. Hoping this idea will be implemented in the near future

    We have an automated deployment of VMs + On-premises Data Gateways via Terraform. I'm guessing this is a pretty typical deployment strategy, but without the ability to connect / restore / takeover existing Gateway Clusters we are stuck with manual steps in Power Platform Admin Center and Power Automate to support redeploy.See also this suggestion.
