Key facts

Summary
Snowflake has always run on AWS, though obviously, these days, it is also available on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. It can do that because Snowflake’s customers are accelerating their spending on AWS as of late, Snowflake says, doubling in 2025 to $2 billion for that calendar year alone. What’s driving the growth is, naturally, AI. Of particular note is that Snowflake is signing this contract for more access to AWS’s home-grown ARM-based CPU chip, Graviton.
