Jul 15, 2026: Consumer-controlled maintenance policies — General Availability¶

Consumer-controlled maintenance policies for Snowflake Native Apps are now generally available.

Consumers can define when Snowflake Native App upgrades happen in their accounts by creating a maintenance policy and applying it to an account or an individual app. For more information, see Consumer-controlled maintenance policies.

Providers can configure release directives to respect consumer maintenance policies by setting the UPGRADE_IN_MAINTENANCE_WINDOW parameter, and can align Snowpark Container Services compute pool node maintenance with the consumer’s maintenance window by setting the AUTOMATIC_APPLICATION_MAINTENANCE property on the application package. For more information, see Consumer-controlled maintenance policies: Provider guide.
