PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question

Which TWO data sources can be directly connected to a Power Apps canvas app without using an on-premises data gateway? (Choose two.)

⚠ Common exam trap

It's easy for candidates to confuse 'on-premises' data sources (which require a gateway) with cloud-based services like SharePoint Online and Outlook, mistakenly thinking all Microsoft data sources need a gateway, or overlooking that SharePoint Online is a cloud service.
