Summary

The Snowflake database secrets engine for Vault is a managed service that provides secure access to sensitive data stored in Snowflake. It supports static and dynamic roles as well as root credential rotation, allowing users to tightly control access to their secrets while meeting governance and compliance requirements. The engine can be used to manage the lifecycle and access to passwords in Snowflake, including root accountadmin user credentials and service user accounts. With its integration with HashiCorp Vault, the Snowflake Secrets Engine enables organizations to take advantage of a managed service offering that aligns with their deployment model. By leveraging just-in-time ephemeral credentials, organizations can reduce the blast radius in case of credential leakage and ensure the secure management of sensitive data. The engine is packaged as part of the Database Secrets Engine plugin and is available with all versions of Vault.
