In which use case does Snowflake apply egress charges?
Snowflake applies egress charges when data is transferred across regions or to different cloud platforms. Database replication involves copying data to another region or another cloud platform, which incurs these egress charges. This transfer of data out of the current environment is what triggers the egress fee.
Answer is Database Replication
Snowflake charges a per-byte fee for data egress when users transfer data from a Snowflake account into a different region on the same cloud platform or into a completely different cloud platform. Data transfers within the same region are free. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-data-transfer.html

C. Database replication
Answer shod be A, egress charges means when data is transfered to another region or anothe cloud platform
The answer must be A for sure Contact your cloud storage provider (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Microsoft Azure) to determine whether they apply data egress charges to transfer data from their network and region of origin to the cloud provider’s network and region where your Snowflake account is hosted. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-data-transfer
Can not be A Data sharing is not data transferring. With Secure Data Sharing, no actual data is copied or transferred between accounts. All sharing uses Snowflake’s services layer and metadata store. Shared data does not take up any storage in a consumer account and therefore does not contribute to the consumer’s monthly data storage charges. The only charges to consumers are for the compute resources (i.e. virtual warehouses) used to query the shared data. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-intro
but it share to different cloud platform or region, it might involve database replication, then it could be A
correct
For sure Database Replication
