"Set up intelligent cloud" option not showing for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central tenants

On The Dynamics GP Blogster blog, Mariano Gomez stated that he is still really excited about the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2, particularly because of the intelligent cloud feature. With the intelligent cloud, you can sync your data to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and use the power of the cloud to get actionable insights, he stated.

After Gomez updated his GP 2018 RTM instance to GP 2018 R2, he launched the intelligent cloud insights which involved setting up an integration between his on-premises Dynamics GP application databases and Dynamics 365 Business Central using an Azure data factory – a hybrid data integration (ETL) cloud service – and an integration runtime that allows you to control the companies within a Business Central tenant that get synced to which companies in Dynamics GP and when, Gomez stated.

The steps are fairly clear in the Microsoft Docs article, Connect to the intelligent cloud with Dynamics 365 Business Central, according to Gomez. However, when he went to the assisted set-up page to locate the set up intelligent cloud option, he couldn't find that specific entry.
