SYSTEM$GET_SNOWFLAKE_PLATFORM_INFO¶

Returns the IDs of the virtual network in which your Snowflake account is located. Depending on whether your account is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, the function returns the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) IDs or Azure Virtual Network (VNet) IDs.

A cloud administrator in your company can specify this ID in trust policies to allow Snowflake to connect to any of the following while denying requests that originate from outside the virtual network:

Your cloud storage.
Your proxy service for your external function.

This security restriction can limit traffic to your cloud storage or proxy service on the same cloud platform.

For more information, see the following information for your cloud platform:

AWS: Allowing the Virtual Private Cloud IDs
Azure: Allowing the VNet Subnet IDs
