Snowflake announced on May 27 a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) aimed at accelerating enterprise agentic artificial intelligence adoption for joint customers worldwide. As part of the expanded partnership, Snowflake is committing $6 billion over several years to AWS infrastructure, marking its largest commitment to date in response to increasing demand for AI and data workloads on AWS.
The companies said this agreement builds on an eleven-year relationship that began when Snowflake was founded on AWS. Most of Snowflake’s customers currently run their services on AWS, which recognizes Snowflake as a key partner in driving global customer adoption. The new agreement includes deeper product integrations across generative and agentic AI, expanded offerings through the AWS Marketplace, and joint investments in customer success programs, workload migrations, and industry solutions designed to help enterprises scale from AI experimentation to production outcomes.
Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of Snowflake, said, “AI has generated enormous excitement, but for enterprises, the real challenge and opportunity is turning intelligence into action. We are moving into the era of the agentic enterprise, where AI systems don’t just answer questions, but help organizations reason over trusted data, coordinate workflows, and drive real business outcomes. With AWS, we are making it easier for enterprises to bring AI directly to governed data so they can move faster, operate with greater clarity, and create measurable impact at scale.”
Matt Garman, CEO of AWS, said, “Enterprises are rapidly moving from experimenting with AI to putting intelligent agents to work that drive real business outcomes. Snowflake has built on AWS since day one and their deepened commitment to run on Graviton delivers the world-class performance flexibility and cost savings customers need to run data warehousing and AI workloads at scale.” The technical architecture underpinning this collaboration aims to bring foundation models directly alongside governed enterprise data without requiring sensitive information be moved between systems.
Customers such as Fetch and Hex use Snowflake on AWS for unified data management and deploying AI applications securely within governed environments. Daniel Block of Fetch said, “AI is deeply embedded in how Fetch builds and operates every day… With Snowflake Cortex AI we’ve deployed a semantic agent that allows our sales teams to query campaign data in natural language…” Caitlin Colgrove of Hex added: “For teams using Hex… having that layer be secure governed and performant isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s what makes enterprise AI adoption real.” Amazon operates globally providing e-commerce services as well as cloud computing through its web services division, according to its official website.
