Configuring Databricks PrivateLink

Limited to certain Enterprise tiers

The PrivateLink feature is available on the following dbt Cloud Enterprise tiers:

  • Business Critical
  • Virtual Private

To learn more about these tiers, contact us at sales@getdbt.com.

The following steps will walk you through the setup of a Databricks AWS PrivateLink endpoint in the dbt Cloud multi-tenant environment.

  1. Locate your Databricks Workspace ID
  2. Add the required information to the template below, and submit your request to dbt Support:
Subject: New Multi-Tenant PrivateLink Request
- Type: Databricks
- Databricks workspace name:
- Databricks cluster AWS Region (e.g., us-east-1, eu-west-2):
- dbt Cloud multi-tenant environment (US, EMEA, AU):

dbt Labs will work on your behalf to complete the PrivateLink setup. Please allow 3-5 business days for this process to complete. Support will contact you when the endpoint is available.

  1. Once dbt Cloud support has notified you that setup is complete, register the VPC endpoint in Databricks and attach it to the workspace
