External secret providers (Preview)

PreviewVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

External secret providers are now in preview. If your organization already keeps API keys, database passwords, and similar values in AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud Secret Manager, Snowflake can read those values when a query needs them, so you don't have to maintain a second copy in a Snowflake secret .

Topics: SQL, Security, Developer tools
