What You’ll Need

Before starting, make sure you have:

• Your Snowflake Account Identifier, Region, and Edition

• Snowflake ACCOUNTADMIN

• (Optional, for hybrid deployments) see prerequisites in Terraform Deployment

What the Setup Does

Once complete, Yuki will:

• Have secure service-user access to your Snowflake account

• (If hybrid) Run the Yuki Proxy inside your environment

• Be able to automatically route queries for optimal cost and performance
