SnowPro Core Exam - Question 119


True or False: A 4X-Large Warehouse may, at times, take longer to provision than a X-Small Warehouse.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The statement is True. Provisioning a larger warehouse, like a 4X-Large Warehouse, can indeed take longer than provisioning a smaller warehouse, such as an X-Small Warehouse. This is because larger warehouses require more compute resources, which may not always be immediately available. Therefore, the provisioning time can vary depending on the availability of these resources.

Signed up for free Snowflake account. Created X-Small and 4X Virtual Warehouse using web interface. X-Small took 96 ms, while 4X took 105 ms. You can validate it in Activity -> Query History.

Warehouse provisioning is generally very fast (e.g. 1 or 2 seconds); however, depending on the size of the warehouse and the availability of compute resources to provision, it can take longer.

You require the warehouse to be available with no delay or lag time. Warehouse provisioning is generally very fast (e.g. 1 or 2 seconds); however, depending on the size of the warehouse and the availability of compute resources to provision, it can take longer.
