What is the MOST cost-effective way to resolve memory spillage in a virtual warehouse?
Converting to a Snowpark-optimized warehouse can address memory spillage in a cost-effective manner by optimizing the use of compute resources without requiring a permanent increase in the size of the virtual warehouse.

When a query requires additional memory without additional compute, it is more cost effective to switch to a Snowpark-optimized warehouse rather than increasing the size of the warehouse

B. Enable the query acceleration service. The query acceleration service dynamically adds additional compute resources (more CPU and memory) to a virtual warehouse when queries require more resources than initially allocated. This can be a cost-effective solution as it only scales up resources temporarily during peak demand, potentially reducing memory spillage without the need to permanently increase the warehouse size.
