Export Existing Resources¶

Already have a Snowflake environment? Generate config from your existing setup:

snowcap export \
  --resource=warehouse,role,grant \
  --out=snowcap.yml

Export Specific Resource Types¶

Export only the resources you need:

# Export warehouses only
snowcap export --resource=warehouse --out=warehouses.yml

# Export roles and grants
snowcap export --resource=role,grant --out=rbac.yml

# Export all supported resources
snowcap export --resource=all --out=snowcap.yml

Output Format¶

The exported YAML can be used directly with snowcap plan and snowcap apply:

# Exported warehouses.yml
warehouses:
  - name: ANALYTICS
    warehouse_size: XSMALL
    auto_suspend: 60
    auto_resume: true

  - name: LOADING
    warehouse_size: SMALL
    auto_suspend: 300
    auto_resume: true

Workflow: Migrate from Manual Management¶

Export your current Snowflake configuration:

snowcap export --resource=all --out=snowcap.yml

Review and organize the exported config into separate files if needed

Add the config to version control:

git add snowcap.yml
git commit -m "Import existing Snowflake configuration"

From now on, manage changes through Snowcap:

# Edit snowcap.yml, then:
snowcap plan --config snowcap.yml
snowcap apply --config snowcap.yml
