Terraforming Snowflake: Practical Advice for Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) describes the concept of defining configuration for cloud infrastructure in a way that it can be automated and version controlled just like any other app code. Terraform has established itself over the last five years as a leading IaC tool, and Snowflake has joined the party with its own Terraform provider, which was brought in-house in 2022.

This session will cover an introduction to Infrastructure as Code including practical demos / examples, trade-offs and alternative approaches, with a focus on why Terraform is relevant to Snowflake and used by a large proportion of our customers.

After an introduction, we’ll hear from two of our customers who are using Terraform with Snowflake today, best practices and lessons learned, and we will wrap up with some drinks, food and networking.

We look forward to seeing you there.
