June 2, 2026: Google Cloud BigLake Metastore catalog integration (General availability)¶

Support for connecting Snowflake to Google Cloud BigLake Metastore by using an Apache Iceberg™ REST catalog integration is now generally available. You can configure workload identity federation so Snowflake authenticates to Google Cloud without long-lived service account keys, then create a catalog-linked database to discover and query BigLake Iceberg tables from Snowflake.
