Hi Team, 

Lot of data analyst who are working with our clients are looking to setup IAM roles. 

They are working on a data integration pipeline from Snowflake to the Gainsight S3 bucket. Snowflake has native functionality to connect to S3, but their best practice is to create an IAM role and use those credentials to connect to S3 instead of using the Secret Key and Access Key credentials.

Is it possible to add in our near term roadmap? 

Best,

Hardik

Hi @hardik_mota Snowflake Connector is getting released in May. Any chance we can use that instead?
