Affected components
Update timeline
- identified Aug 28, 2026, 12:07 AM UTC
Current status: We've determined that a capacity constraint at our third-party cloud platform has limited the availability of compute resources in the specified region. We're actively working to identify and implement alternative compute options to reduce impact for affected customers while our third-party cloud platform works to restore availability. We are in continuous contact with our third-party cloud platform, and we'll provide another update within 24 hours. Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may intermittently be unable to use Snowpark Container Services. Affected customers may experience failures or timeouts 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: An ETA is not yet available. We'll provide one as soon as possible. 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. Incident start time: 08:41 UTC August 09, 2026 Preliminary root cause: A capacity constraint at our third-party cloud platform is limiting the availability of compute resources in the affected region.

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.
