Global – October 28, 2026 -- Snowflake and Oracle plan to offer Snowflake's AI Data Cloud as a native, first-party service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), with customers buying and being billed directly through Oracle. The companies describe the offering as planned, not committed, and no launch date has been given.
Snowflake on OCI would bring AI, analytics, data engineering, transactions, applications and collaboration workloads closer to enterprise data held in Oracle databases, Oracle applications and OCI services.
Oracle would sell and bill Snowflake directly through OCI
Customers would contract with Oracle, be billed through OCI and could pay with Oracle Universal Credits. Accounts would be provisioned through the OCI control plane. Customers would then manage warehouses, databases, data pipelines and access controls with standard Snowflake tools.
Planned integrations cover Fusion, NetSuite and four Oracle database services
Planned application integrations include Oracle Fusion Applications for ERP, HCM and SCM, plus NetSuite. Planned database integrations include cloud-hosted Oracle Database, Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL HeatWave and Oracle NoSQL Database.
Customers already link Oracle sources to Snowflake through native and partner connectors. The planned native integrations are meant to reduce custom pipelines. The offering is also planned to include data engineering and ingestion tools, role-based access controls and data access policies.
Running inside OCI aims to cut cross-cloud data movement and egress costs
Placing Snowflake workloads next to Oracle data hosted on OCI could speed data access and reduce cross-cloud transfers and the associated egress costs. The companies provide no cost or performance figures.
Illustrative use cases span healthcare, manufacturing, retail and finance
The companies say these examples may not reflect functionality at launch. A healthcare provider could combine clinical, claims and payment data to find drivers of claim denials. A manufacturer could join equipment, production, order and supplier data to see which customer orders are at risk if a line stops.
Retailers could match sales and demand signals with inventory across stores and channels to spot stockouts and likely markdowns. Finance teams could link receivables with delivery, dispute and customer data to explain overdue invoices.
Cross-cloud sharing and failover remain subject to technical validation
Snowflake on OCI is planned to support cross-cloud data sharing, replication and failover with Snowflake accounts on other supported clouds and regions, subject to technical validation and availability. Customers could manage an OCI account within an existing Snowflake organization. They could also add other supported Snowflake accounts to an organization first created with an OCI account.
