# Athena Plugin

This guide provides an overview of setting up Athena in your Flyte deployment.

> Please note that the Athena plugin requires a Flyte deployment in the AWS cloud; it won't work with demo/GCP/Azure.

## Set up the AWS Flyte cluster

1. Ensure you have a functional Flyte cluster up and running in `AWS <https://docs.flyte.org/en/latest/deployment/aws/index.html#deployment-aws>`__
2. Verify that you have the correct ``kubeconfig`` and have selected the appropriate Kubernetes context
3. Double-check that your ``~/.flyte/config.yaml`` file contains the correct Flytectl configuration

## Specify plugin configuration

### flyte-binary

Edit the relevant YAML file to specify the plugin.

```yaml
tasks:
  task-plugins:
    enabled-plugins:
      - container
      - sidecar
      - k8s-array
      - athena
    default-for-task-types:
      - container: container
      - container_array: k8s-array
     - athena: athena
```

## flyte-core

Create a file named ``values-override.yaml`` and include the following configuration:

```yaml
        configmap:
          enabled_plugins:
            tasks:
              task-plugins:
                enabled-plugins:
                  - container
                  - sidecar
                  - k8s-array
                  - athena
                default-for-task-types:
                  container: container
                  sidecar: sidecar
                  container_array: k8s-array
                  athena: athena
```
Ensure that the propeller has the correct service account for Athena.

## Upgrade the Flyte Helm release

```bash
      helm upgrade <RELEASE_NAME> flyteorg/<HELM_CHART> -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE> --values <YOUR_YAML_FILE>
```
Replace ``<RELEASE_NAME>`` with the name of your release (e.g., ``flyte-backend``), ``<YOUR_NAMESPACE>`` with the name of your namespace (e.g., ``flyte``), `<HELM_CHART>` with either `flyte-binary` or `flyte-core` and ``<YOUR_YAML_FILE>`` with the name of your YAML file.
