The following steps walk you through the setup of a Databricks Azure Private Link endpoint in the <Constant name="dbt" /> multi-tenant environment.

<CloudProviders type='Databricks'/>

## Configure Azure Private Link

1. Navigate to your Azure Databricks workspace. 
    The path format is: `/subscriptions/<subscription_uuid>/resourceGroups/<resource_group_name>/providers/Microsoft.Databricks/workspaces/<workspace_name>`.
2. From the workspace overview, click **JSON view**. 
3. Copy the value in the `resource_id` field.  
4. Add the required information to the following template and submit your Azure Private Link request to [dbt Support](mailto:support@getdbt.com):

   <Expandable alt_header="Support request email template" is_open={true}>

   ```text
   Subject: New Azure Multi-Tenant Private Link Request

   - Type: Databricks
   - dbt platform account URL:
   - Databricks instance name:
   - Azure Databricks Workspace URL (for example, adb-################.##.azuredatabricks.net)
   - Databricks Azure resource ID: /subscriptions/SUB_ID/resourceGroups/RG/providers/Microsoft.Databricks/workspaces/WORKSPACE_NAME
     - Use the full ARM resource ID, replacing SUB_ID, RG, and WORKSPACE_NAME with your values
   - dbt Azure multi-tenant environment (EMEA):
   - Azure Databricks workspace region (for example, WestEurope, NorthEurope)
   ```

   </Expandable>

5. Once our Support team confirms the resources are available in the Azure portal, navigate to the Azure Databricks Workspace and browse to **Networking** > **Private Endpoint Connections**. Then, highlight the `dbt` named option and select **Approve**.

## Create connection in dbt

Once you've completed the setup in the Databricks environment, you can configure a private endpoint in <Constant name="dbt" />:

1. Navigate to **Settings** → **Create new project** → select **Databricks**. 
2. You will see two radio buttons: **Public** and **Private**. Select **Private**. 
3. Select the private endpoint from the dropdown (this automatically populates the hostname/account field).
4. Configure the remaining data platform details.
5. Test your connection and save it.
