Question 83

A Snowflake Architect is designing a multiple-account design strategy.

This strategy will be MOST cost-effective with which scenarios? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: C, D

    A multiple-account design strategy is most cost-effective in scenarios where strict segregation of environments is needed, such as when different role-based access control features are required for development, test, and production environments. Additionally, if the company's security policy mandates the use of different Active Directory instances for these environments, using separate Snowflake accounts ensures adherence to security requirements, reducing complexity and potential risks in a cost-effective manner.

Discussion
MSIDDIQUI18Options: CD

C: Using separate Snowflake accounts for development, test, and production environments allows for tailored RBAC configurations without intermingling roles and permissions. This separation can simplify access management and enhance security, leading to cost-effective administration and compliance with organizational policies. D: If the security policy requires different AD instances for various environments, maintaining separate Snowflake accounts is essential. This segregation ensures that each environment adheres to its specific security requirements, reducing complexity and potential security risks, thus optimizing costs related to security management and compliance.
