Snowflake has unveiled a new long-term strategic cooperation deal with Amazon Web Services (AWS) that would help speed up adoption of generative and agentic AI technology among businesses. Within the expanded alliance, Snowflake has pledged a $6 billion multi-year infrastructure investment towards AWS, which is its biggest yet in terms of infrastructure spending on AWS as enterprise interest in AI rises. Based on the company’s partnership with AWS for the past 11 years that goes back to when Snowflake started operations on AWS, the new partnership will see efforts by both companies geared towards better integration of AI technologies, increased marketing activities on AWS Marketplace, as well as investments in customer success, migration of workloads, and industry solutions.

“AI has generated enormous excitement, but for enterprises, the real challenge and opportunity is turning intelligence into action,” said Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of Snowflake. “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.” The text-to-SQL, summarization, and sentiment analysis capabilities will be made possible via Snowflake Cortex AI, while the AWS platform will provide infrastructure for AI training and deployment through its powerful Graviton and Amazon EC2-based GPU compute services.
