# Outbound Private Connect for Athena

This topic covers setup information specific to the data provider. General information on setting up a private connection is in [Outbound Private Connect](https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-gb/private_connect_setup_overview.htm), and information on setting up the Tableau Cloud endpoint is in [Outbound Private Connection Setup: Tableau Cloud](https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-gb/private_connect_setup_tableau_cloud.htm).

## Prerequisites

- Your Tableau Cloud site and AWS-hosted data provider must be in the same AWS region. For a table that includes Tableau Cloud pods and associated regions, see [IP Addresses for Tableau Cloud](https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-gb/to_keep_data_fresh.htm#ip-addresses-for-tableau-cloud).

## Tableau Cloud Information for the Data Provider

Not applicable. Amazon Athena doesn't require endpoint service configuration. This means you don't have to get the Identity and Access Management (IAM) Amazon Resource Name (ARN) from Tableau Cloud and add it to the endpoint service.

## Data Provider Information for Tableau Cloud

Tableau Cloud requires an endpoint service name from Amazon Athena. Choose an endpoint service name for your site's region from the list at [Amazon Athena endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/athena.html). (Use the ‘endpoint’ column.)

Note: Reverse the domain name elements in order to make it fit the expected Endpoint Service Name format in Tableau Cloud's Create Private Connection dialog.

**Example**

- **From the [Amazon Athena endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/athena.html) page:**  
    Endpoint: athena.us-east-2.amazonaws.com
- **In the Create Private Connection dialog:**  
    Endpoint Service Name: com.amazonaws.us-east-2.athena
