## Summary

Oracle and Snowflake announced at Oracle AI World on October 27, 2026, that Snowflake AI Data Cloud will run natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as a first-party offering. Customers will purchase, provision, and bill the service directly through Oracle, using Oracle Universal Credits for simplified procurement. The move aims to accelerate enterprise AI initiatives by enabling seamless integration with Oracle’s data estate, including Oracle AI Database, Oracle Autonomous AI Database, Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, and Oracle NetSuite, among others.

Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy described the partnership as a way to turn Oracle data estates into AI-ready foundations with governance and security for scalable use. Oracle claims the integration reduces reliance on custom data pipelines by supporting native transfers from Oracle applications and databases. Snowflake’s executive vice president of product, Christian Kleinerman, noted the offering is planned but not yet available, emphasizing cross-cloud support and integration with existing Snowflake organizations. The partnership highlights use cases like healthcare claim analysis, manufacturing supply chain optimization, retail inventory management, and finance receivables tracking, though these remain illustrative examples pending launch.
