More Enhancements in SOLE 

 

We are continuously enhancing our Snowflake Object Lifecycle Engine with more capabilities to help you fully manage your Snowflake ecosystem. You can now: 

  • Plan modifications to any Snowflake database before applying them by using the plan and apply for lifecycle jobs. Learn more 
  • Review in a human-readable version, generated as part of the plan lifecycle job, all the modifications planned to be applied to a Snowflake database. Learn more 
  • Use the SNOWPARK-OPTIMIZED warehouse that provides 16x memory per node compared to a standard Snowflake virtual warehouse. Learn more 
  • Prevent SOLE from implicitly granting USAGE privileges on the parent and grandparent objects by simply setting a value to a variable. Learn more

Barr Moses | #TrueDataOps Podcast Ep.14 

“The problem of data trust is ubiquitous. The number one thing people told us was ‘the data is wrong and that leads us to a place where we can’t trust it, and we can’t use it…’” 

Episode 14 of the #TrueDataOps podcast welcomed Barr Moses, Data Observability pioneer, CEO, and co-founder of Monte Carlo, who joined host Kent ‘The Data Warrior’ Graziano to discuss all things data and DataOps. “We can’t afford to ignore the implications of bad data - and this is where data observability comes in. Today, you not only have a lot more data, you also have a lot more people using the data…”
