Final update
Current status: We're continuing our efforts to reduce virtual warehouse provisioning times, building on measures that have already shown improvement. In parallel, we're preserving available compute resources and coordinating with our third-party cloud provider to improve resource availability in the specified region. Resource availability continues to vary with demand, and provisioning delays or failures may still occur. We'll provide another update within 7 days. Customer experience: Over the past few weeks, we've seen periods of fewer failures as we continue working to preserve available compute resources. However, resource availability at our third-party cloud provider remains constrained. Customers in the specified region may still encounter failures, timeouts, or delays when running Snowpark Container Services workloads, including starting or resuming Notebooks and provisioning or resuming compute pools. Creating additional workloads in new accounts adds to demand for these limited resources. Customers setting up Snowpark Container Services services or jobs, or Openflow runtimes, in those accounts may therefore encounter more frequent provisioning failures or be unable to com

Customers setting up Snowpark Container Services services or jobs, or Openflow runtimes, in those accounts may therefore encounter more frequent provisioning failures or be unable to complete setup. Customers using second generation (Gen2) warehouses may also continue to experience delays or intermittent failures when starting or resuming their warehouses, which can extend query run times or delay completion of data pipelines.

Current status: We've taken additional steps with our warehouse team to reduce provisioning latencies for virtual warehouses, and we've observed some improvement in provisioning latencies as a result. Resource availability remains variable and correlated to overall demand, with some intermittent delays occurring during high-volume times. We're continuing to work closely with our warehouse team to maintain available capacity and keep provisioning times low. Our third-party cloud platform provider has indicated that the additional compute capacity remains on track, and we're continuing to coordinate with them to restore the needed capacity. We'll provide another update within 7 days. Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may intermittently be unable to use Snowpark Container Services. Affected customers may experience failures, timeouts, or delays when running Snowpark Container Services workloads, such as starting or resuming Notebooks, or provisioning or resuming compute pools. Notebooks running on virtual warehouses are not affected. Additionally, starting from 04:00 UTC September 04, 2026, customers hosted in the specified region with workloads on second generation (Gen2) warehouses may experience delays or intermittent failures when resuming or starting virtual warehouses. This may result in longer than expected query run times or delays in completing data pipelines. Warehouses that are already running are largely unaffected. ETA: Based on informati

Current status: Our third-party cloud platform provider has informed us that they expect to be able to provide additional capacity allocation by mid-October. In the meantime, we are working to preserve compute resources available to us, reduce non-essential resource consumption, and investigate any alternative methods to further reduce impact. Resource availability remains variable and correlated to overall demand, with some intermittent delays occurring during high-volume times. We'll provide another update by 23:00 UTC September 17, 2026. Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may intermittently be unable to use Snowpark Container Services.

Current status: We've made additional adjustments to further reduce non-essential resource consumption and preserve available compute resources in the specified region. We're continuing to develop a software update to enable additional compute resources, and our other mitigation actions remain in place. We're also continuing to coordinate with our third-party cloud platform provider to restore the compute capacity needed for Snowpark Container Services. We'll provide another update within 7 days. Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may intermittently be unable to use Snowpark Container Services. Affected customers may experience failures, timeouts, or delays when running Snowpark Container Services workloads, such as starting or resuming Notebooks, or provisioning or resuming compute pools. Notebooks running on virtual warehouses are not affected. ETA: Based on information from our third-party cloud platform provider, we expect this capacity constraint to persist for several more months. We'll provide an updated ETA as we receive more information. Workaround: While we're focused on remediation, customers running Notebooks on virtual warehouses can delay migrating to Snowpark Container Services until this issue is resolved.

Current status: We're continuing to coordinate with our third-party cloud platform provider to restore the compute capacity needed for Snowpark Container Services in the specified region. In parallel, we are taking the following steps to mitigate impact: - We have implemented capacity prioritization measures to help ensure available resources are directed to Business Critical tier accounts. - We are working to expand the set of instance types available for compute pool provisioning through a software update, which is currently in an expedited release process. - We have paused non-essential maintenance operations and internal workloads in the affected region to preserve available capacity. While we are in continuous contact with the provider, we expect the provider efforts to continue into next week, as such, the next update will be on Monday August 31, end of business day.
