Terraforming Snowflake
Terraform is an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool created by HashiCorp and is a declarative Infrastructure as Code tool, wherein you can declare what you want using a YAML like syntax. Terraform is also stateful, meaning it keeps track of your current state, and compares it with your desired state. Using Terraform is a great way to manage account level Snowflake resources like Warehouses, Databases, Schemas, Tables, and Roles/Grants, among many other use cases.
Example Terraform use-cases:
Set up storage in your cloud provider and add it to Snowflake as an external stage
Add storage and connect it to Snowpipe
Create users and assign roles to users
Many Snowflake customers use Terraform to comply with security controls, maintain consistency, and support similar engineering workflows for infrastructure at scale.
In this meetup event, we demonstrate how you can use Terraform to manage your Snowflake configurations and show you how to install and use Terraform to create and manage your Snowflake environment, including how to create a database, schema, warehouse, multiple roles, and a service user.
