Snowflake can run on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Choose where each account lives, then decide which data needs to cross a cloud or region boundary.
Does one Snowflake account span multiple clouds?
An account is hosted in a specific region on a specific cloud platform. An organization can operate several accounts and replicate supported data or objects between them. Putting an account near its users or source systems can reduce latency and avoid unnecessary transfers.
What should we test before relying on cross-cloud failover?
Inventory the databases, roles, integrations and client connections the application needs. Check edition and replication support, estimate transfer costs, then rehearse failing over and returning to the primary. Measure how current the replica is when the application reconnects.
