Which edition range supports secure direct proxy to VNETs using PrivateLink?

• A. Business Critical or above (VPS)
• B. VPS
• C. Standard
• D. Enterprise

Answer: (A)

PrivateLink connectivity to a VNet lets you access Snowflake through a private endpoint, keeping traffic off the public internet. This kind of private networking capability is only available on the higher-tier editions, where the networking features are included. Specifically, you need at least Business Critical edition (or the Virtual Private Snowflake setup) to use secure direct proxy to VNETs via PrivateLink. Lower editions do not offer PrivateLink for VNet connectivity, so they won’t support this configuration.
