 ## Introduction
 
-There are two methods for installing the Snowflake emulator:
-
-- [Snowflake Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/localstack/snowflake) (recommended)
-- [LocalStack Extension mechanism](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/extensions/) (deprecated)

-Before starting, ensure you have a valid `LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN` to access the Snowflake emulator. Refer to the [Auth Token guide](https://docs.localstack.cloud/getting-started/auth-token/) to obtain your Auth Token and specify it in the `LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable.

 To update the Snowflake Docker container, pull the latest image and restart the container. The `latest` tag is the nightly build of the Snowflake Docker image.
 
-## LocalStack Extension mechanism (deprecated)
-
-The LocalStack Extension mechanism allows you to install and manage extensions for LocalStack.
-Extensions are packaged as Python applications, and can be installed using:
-
-1. [`localstack` CLI](https://docs.localstack.cloud/getting-started/installation/#localstack-cli)
-2. [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
-
-Note that installing the Snowflake emulator via the LocalStack Extension mechanism is deprecated by now, and is not guaranteed to work with all versions of LocalStack.
-We recommend using the custom LocalStack Snowflake Docker image, described further above in this document.

-To install the Snowflake emulator using the `localstack` CLI, execute the following command:
-
-{{< command >}}
-$ localstack extensions install localstack-extension-snowflake
-{{< / command >}}
-
-Upon successful installation, you should see the output listing the installed extension.
-
-```bash

-### Docker Compose
-
-To install the Snowflake emulator using Docker Compose, use the `EXTENSION_AUTO_INSTALL` environment variable for automatic extension installation. Create a `docker-compose.yml` file with the specified content:
-
-```yaml
-version: "3.8"
-
-services:
-  localstack:
-    container_name: "localstack-main"
-    image: localstack/localstack-pro
-    ports:

-      - "127.0.0.1:4510-4559:4510-4559"

-    volumes:
-      - "./volume:/var/lib/localstack"
-      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
-```
-
-Start the Snowflake emulator with the following command:
-
-{{< command >}}
-$ docker-compose up
-{{< / command >}}
-
-### Updating
-
-To update the Snowflake emulator using the `localstack` CLI, uninstall and install the extension again:
-
-{{< command >}}
-$ localstack extensions uninstall localstack-extension-snowflake
-$ localstack extensions install localstack-extension-snowflake
-{{< / command >}}
-
-For Docker Compose, update the extension by restarting the LocalStack container.
