SnowPro Core Exam - Question 153


What is a key feature of Snowflake architecture?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

A key feature of Snowflake architecture is its virtual warehouse implementation which eliminates resource contention. Snowflake's architecture is built around separating compute resources from storage, allowing for performance scalability. By enabling each virtual warehouse to operate independently without impacting the underlying data storage, it ensures there is no resource contention between concurrent users or workloads.

C is the answer. specialty of the Snowflake is Virtual warehouse to provide unlimited computing power thus avoids the contention during processing.

Snowflake eliminates resource contention with multi-cluster " The overarching performance challenge with traditional data warehouses comes down to one thing: resource contention. Single-cluster systems—both in shared-disk and shared-nothing architectures—require all users in the data warehouse to share a limited set of resources. Too many concurrent users or workloads can lead to significant performance degradation and queueing. In contrast, Snowflake provides a patented multicluster, shared data architecture and intelligent use of readily available cloud resources to allow essentially limitless concurrency..." https://www.snowflake.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/how-snowflake-automates-performance-in-a-modern-cloud-data-warehouse.pdf#:~:text=Dedicated%20and%20separate%20virtual%20warehouses,It%20also%20eliminates%20contention.

A. Zero-copy cloning creates a mirror copy of a database that updates with the original. is a key feature of Snowflake architecture. Snowflake's zero-copy cloning feature creates a snapshot of a database that is always up-to-date with the original database. This allows users to create clones of their databases for development, testing, and disaster recovery purposes without having to copy any data. Zero-copy cloning is also used to create time travel snapshots of databases.

C. Snowflake eliminates resource contention with its virtual warehouse implementation. Snowflake's architecture is built around the concept of separating compute resources from storage, allowing for scalability and eliminating resource contention through its virtual warehouse implementation. This architecture enables users to scale their compute resources up or down as needed without impacting the underlying data storage.
