Preview Feature — Open
Snowflake Openflow - Snowflake Deployments are available to all accounts in AWS and Azure Commercial Regions.
Snowflake is gradually rolling out support for Openflow Snowflake Deployments. During this transition, not all accounts will include this new feature. Over the course of the next several weeks, starting September 17th, 2025, Snowflake Openflow deployments will start becoming available.
