What is the Snow­flake Data Mesh Accelerator?

Automated provision of cloud services

The Snow­flake Ser­vice enables the auto­mated pro­vi­sion­ing of envir­on­ments that include all the required com­pon­ents such as data­bases, access roles, role assign­ments, vir­tual ware­houses, and tech­nical users. This auto­ma­tion ensures a fast and error-free deploy­ment of Snow­flake envir­on­ments and sim­pli­fies the man­age­ment of data platforms. The Cloud Stor­age Ser­vice provides auto­mated pro­vi­sion­ing of cloud stor­age solu­tions in vari­ous envir­on­ments, such as Azure Stor­age Account or AWS S3, which can be used in a vari­ety of ways: as inter­me­di­ate stor­age before the data is loaded into Snow­flake, as long-term stor­age for his­tor­ical or cold data to help to reduce Snow­flake stor­age costs, or as stor­age for unstruc­tured data that can­not be loaded dir­ectly into Snowflake. The Cre­den­tial Man­age­ment Ser­vice auto­mates the pro­vi­sion­ing of secret man­age­ment solu­tions within the respect­ive cloud envir­on­ments, like Azure Key Vault or Google Secret Man­ager. This ser­vice is essen­tial for cent­ral­iz­ing access cre­den­tials, includ­ing pass­words for Snow­flake data­base users and third-party sys­tems, ensur­ing secure and effi­cient access management.
