SnowPro Advanced: Architect — Question 152

A company that is in one region wants to share data with two different consumers who are both based in a second region.

How can this be accomplished with the LEAST amount of data duplication?

Answer options

• A. Replicate one copy of the data to the second region, and share it with the two data consumers.
• B. Replicate two copies of the data to the second region, and share each one respectively with the two consumers.
• C. Replicate two copies of the data to the second region, but only share one of the copies with the two data consumers.
• D. Create a direct share from the first region to the second region, and provide access to both data consumers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because replicating just one copy of the data to the second region allows both consumers to access the same dataset, thus minimizing duplication. Options B and C involve creating multiple copies, leading to unnecessary data redundancy. Option D, while it suggests sharing, does not address the replication aspect effectively for minimizing data duplication.
