Is Snowflake built on Kubernetes?
The question is about Snowflake
Answer:
Snowflake is not based on the Kubernetes platform but has its proprietary architecture optimized for cloud environments. It runs on infrastructures provided by cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. While Snowflake does not use Kubernetes for orchestration, it scales using a multi-cluster shared data architecture, which scales storage separate from computing for high performance. Although Kubernetes is widely adopted for container orchestration, Snowflake’s architecture is particularly designed for data warehousing and analytics.
