Oracle to offer Snowflake AI Data Cloud as a native first-party OCI service

Bought and billed through Oracle

The announcement was made at Oracle AI World in Las Vegas on October 27, 2026. Under the arrangement, customers will be able to purchase, provision and consume Snowflake on OCI directly from Oracle. Oracle will manage pricing, discounts and billing, which the company says gives customers a single commercial relationship for the service.

Customers will also be able to use Oracle Universal Credits to consume Snowflake on OCI. According to the companies, this simplifies procurement and lets organizations make use of their existing cloud commitments.

Four stated benefits

The companies describe Snowflake on OCI as designed to help organizations get more value from enterprise data in four ways:

• Analytics and AI close to Oracle data: Oracle's customers can apply Snowflake's analytics and AI capabilities closer to their mission-critical data. Supported sources include Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, Oracle NetSuite, Oracle Autonomous AI Database, MySQL HeatWave and Oracle NoSQL database.
• Faster analytics and enterprise AI: Native data transfer through supported integrations is meant to reduce the need for custom pipelines. The data can then be used for reporting, data engineering, machine learning and AI insights.
• Security and customer control: The service is designed to let customers use Snowflake alongside their enterprise data while keeping control over data access, use and governance.
• Lower egress costs: Data movement within OCI is intended to reduce cross-cloud data movement and the associated egress costs.

What the executives said

Clay Magouyrk, CEO of Oracle, said that "organizations are looking for faster, simpler ways to turn their enterprise data into business value with AI." He said that making Snowflake a native OCI service gives customers more choice while simplifying how they deploy, manage and pay for those services.

Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of Snowflake, said Snowflake is "excited to be the flagship AI data platform partner running as a first party offering inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure." He said the move gives joint customers the power to turn their Oracle data estates into an AI-ready foundation, with governance and security to operate at scale.

What it means for customers

Oracle says business data is already managed across Oracle AI Database, Oracle Autonomous AI Database, Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, Oracle NetSuite and other Oracle services. For organizations in that position, the release points to a route for running Snowflake's analytics and AI tools next to that data without managing a separate vendor contract. Billing, discounts and pricing sit with Oracle, and existing Oracle cloud commitments can be applied.

The release does not give pricing details, a rollout schedule or regional availability. Both companies attach forward-looking statement disclaimers, noting that product timing and functionality may change. Oracle's disclaimer also says the information is not a commitment to deliver any functionality.
