  • Retail clients have pushed Snowflake Computing to make its software available on Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Azure cloud.
  • The software lets customers store and run queries on data. Snowflake was previously only available on Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services.
  • Snowflake CEO Bob Muglia (a Microsoft vet) says that a number of retail customers “particularly a large one based in Arkansas” have “a fairly strong opinion” about the Azure availability.
  • The Arkansas reference is likely to Walmart, which prefers not to use competitor Amazon’s cloud.
  • In January, Snowflake had raised $263M in funding at a pre-money valuation of $1.5B.
  • Microsoft shares are up 1.8% to $103.85.
