Are Azure VNet subnet IDs for a Snowflake account required to be in the same Azure region as the storage account?

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not specified
• D. Depends on account type

Answer: (A)

In Snowflake on Azure, private connectivity to an Azure storage account uses Private Link through a VNet. Private endpoints are created and operate within a single Azure region, and they must connect to a storage account in that same region. If the subnet you provide for the Snowflake account were in a different region from the storage account, the private endpoint connection cannot be established. That’s why the Azure VNet subnet IDs used by Snowflake need to be in the same region as the storage account. This regional alignment is what enables private, secure access without cross‑region routing.
