True or False: Reader Accounts incur no additional Compute costs to the Data Provider since they are simply reading the shared data without making changes.
True or False: Reader Accounts incur no additional Compute costs to the Data Provider since they are simply reading the shared data without making changes.
Reader Accounts do incur additional Compute costs to the Data Provider since the compute resources used by these accounts are charged to the provider account. This is because the reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider, which assumes all responsibility for any credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Therefore, while the reader accounts only consume data from the provider account and do not make changes, they still use compute resources that result in additional costs for the Data Provider.
should be FALSE,As the reason is not correct for NOT Charging to the Reader Account.Reader Account are those who don't have snowflake account.
https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Similar to standard consumer accounts, the provider account uses shares to share databases with reader accounts; however, a reader account can only consume data from the provider account that created it. Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit usage, set up a resource monitor for the warehouse.
Answer is B, if you reading the data from reader account no charges applies here but if you are sharing the data what you read then charges applies.
The question is if the reader account does not incur additional charges to the data provider, which is false. Based from this statement "The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account." the provider account is responsible for any charges incurred by user in reader account, thus, there can be charges (which can be done by a user in a reader account) and the amount will be incurred on the one who created the reader account / the data provider
the answer is True According to "The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Similar to standard consumer accounts, the provider account uses shares to share databases with reader accounts; however, a reader account can only consume data from the provider account that created it: "
B is the Answer Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit the usage, please setup a resource monitor for the warehouse. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create
I meant to write A
B "The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account." https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-reader-create
B is correct
B.False
correct answer:B
False. While Reader Accounts in Snowflake do allow consumers to access and query shared data, the Data Provider assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the Reader Account. This includes compute costs associated with executing queries12. So, even though the consumers are just reading the shared data, the compute resources they use for this purpose do result in additional costs for the Data Provider
B. Note
B. False
B. Note Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit usage, set up a resource monitor for the warehouse.
Reader accounts are outside Snowflake and cannot be charged.
You are right , so data provider should pay! So once the reader account run a query it incurs additional cost for data provider!
A. True
"A" is correct
