Snowflake’s architecture is designed to operate entirely on cloud infrastructure. It uses the core compute and storage services of each cloud provider, which allows it to leverage the scalability and reliability of cloud resources. Snowflake’s services are deployed across multiple availability zones within a cloud provider’s region to ensure high availability and fault tolerance.
