Enabling a Redshift-managed PrivateLink between ThoughtSpot Cloud and your Redshift data warehouse
Learn how to deploy a Redshift-managed PrivateLink, also known as Redshift-managed VPC endpoint, between your Redshift data warehouse and the ThoughtSpot Cloud tenant.
To deploy a Redshift-managed PrivateLink, you must work with ThoughtSpot Support and follow the procedure in this article.
Prerequisites
-
You must have a Redshift cluster.
-
The ThoughtSpot cluster must be in the same AWS region as your Redshift cluster.

Enable a Redshift-managed PrivateLink for Redshift
To deploy a Redshift-managed PrivateLink between your Redshift data warehouse and the ThoughtSpot Cloud tenant, follow these steps.
When configuring Redshift-managed PrivateLink, you must create a Support ticket requesting ThoughtSpot’s AWS account ID and AWS VPC ID, configure your AWS account to allow ThoughtSpot access to your cluster, receive the DNS endpoint for Connections from ThoughtSpot, and connect to your cluster using the Endpoint DNS name.
Step 1: Create a Support ticket
Create a Support ticket requesting ThoughtSpot’s AWS account ID and the AWS VPC ID for your cluster at ThoughtSpot Support. Note that you need a Support Portal login to file a ticket. If you do not have one, contact your ThoughtSpot liaison.
Step 2: Configure your AWS account
To configure your AWS account to allow ThoughtSpot access, follow these steps: Granting access to a cluster.
Note that you only need to perform the steps to grant access to a cluster, not the ones described in "Creating a Redshift-managed VPC endpoint".
Once you have granted access to the ThoughtSpot AWS account, provide your AWS account ID and Redshift cluster identifier to ThoughtSpot Support. You can use the same Support ticket filed in step 1.
Step 3: Receive the DNS endpoint
Using the same Support ticket, request the DNS endpoint for your cluster.
Step 4: Connect to your Redshift account in ThoughtSpot
Create a connection in your ThoughtSpot cluster to your Redshift account, entering the DNS endpoint in the "host" field. For more information, see Create a Redshift connection.
