Cloud Services on Snowflake

Snowflake has three layers of architecture: storage, compute and cloud services. While Snowflake is available on a number of clouds i.e. AWS, GCP and Azure, not all cloud services are available on all cloud platforms. For example, Azure Private link is not fully supported. However there are some interesting considerations here.

How does Snowflake store data?

There are many "big data" technologies out there one of them being Snowflake. Snowflake lets you run SQL queries on data which is stored in Snowflake's internal columnar format optimized for cloud storage.
