Question 430

Which of the following statements describes a benefit of Snowflake’s separation of compute and storage? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: B, C

    Snowflake's architecture allows for the independent scaling of compute and storage resources, providing flexibility and cost-efficiency. Storage can expand without requiring the addition of more compute resources, enabling users to store large volumes of data economically. Conversely, compute resources can be scaled up or down independently to meet processing demands without necessitating changes in storage capacity. This separation ensures that businesses can manage and allocate resources according to their specific needs without unnecessary overhead.

Both can be managed saperately as per business needs. They are not bounded, this is what cloud is for

For Snowflake, this is not an issue. You can grow and shrink the environment dynamically. The data storage grows and shrinks as you add or remove data, while the compute nodes can be ramped up or down, or turned off, as you require. You are not forced to pay for capacity up front, or kick other workloads off, or plan downtimes when ramping up your data warehouse capacity. That is the promise of cloud. This is why Snowflake is the real elastic Data Warehouse as a Service.
