There’s no infrastructure to set up or manage, no SAS keys are required, and sharing is all code-free. You control data access and set terms of use aligned with your enterprise policies. Use snapshot-based sharing to copy data from the data provider, or use in-place sharing to refer to data in the provider’s account.
