Frank Slootman: Container Services was the absolute hit, star performer at our Snowflake Summit conference. I mean, customers were just mesmerized by the possibilities that a platform capability has because we essentially eliminated any limitation on deployment on Snowflake. And why do you care? I mean the thing is, first of all, you wanted to deploy close to the data for all the reasons that we talk about. This enabled us, you get a fully trusted sanction platform where you can deploy applications without any further questions. And one of the challenges that you have in cloud computing is, who’s managing this, right? I mean what is the safe space to deploy into and whose is really guaranteeing the high trust enterprise-grade capabilities of the platform?
So, we are bringing that. So, we’re going to see a lot of services, a lot of them could be on-premise legacy engines that are going to be containerized and re-service as a cloud service, right? So, a lot of things that were old will be new again. So, it’s virtualization for the cloud and having secure, safe, high-performance, very, very efficient spaces to run services and applications. And so, the sky is the limit on this capability, and we and our customers and our partners could not be more excited about the potentials and the possibilities here. But specific to AI, this matters a whole lot because the containers, our vehicle, our vessel, if you will, to deploy large language models, there is no limits on which models and how many models and for what segments of the business we can deploy.
And we can shift gears very, very quickly. And we have incredible flexibility in terms of deploying these capabilities, because you’re going to see a lot of change and a lot of movements. We’ve already seen an enormous amount. That’s going to continue. So, we’re very, very well-positioned architecturally platform-wise to enable the AI revolution with Container Services.
Derrick Wood: Awesome. Thank you.
Operator: Thank you. And the final question will be from the line of Sterling Auty with MoffettNathanson. Your line is now open.
Sterling Auty: Yes, thanks. Hi, guys. Just one question from my side. You mentioned sales productivity a couple of times. I’m curious, how would you grade your go-to-market sales execution in quarter? And are there any specific changes that you’re making to further optimize given the environment for the back half?
Mike Scarpelli: I think in general, our execution in Q2 on the sales side was actually quite good, it improved. But there is still pockets though, where there is room for improvement when you look in certain territories or geos. We have a new leader in EMEA. EMEA — certain markets in EMEA doing good. Others, there’s a lot of room for improvement. We have a new leader in EMEA. There’s certain pockets in Asia that are doing good. But there is others that have a lot of room for improvement. So — but in general, overall, as I talked about, you can see through our bookings, it was a good execution from bookings perspective in the aggregate last quarter.
Sterling Auty: Understood. Thank you.
Operator: Thank you. That will conclude today’s Q&A session and today’s conference call. Thank you all for your participation. And you may now disconnect your lines.
