SnowPro Advanced: Architect — Question 38

Company A would like to share data in Snowflake with Company B. Company B is not on the same cloud platform as Company A.
What is required to allow data sharing between these two companies?

Answer options

• A. Create a pipeline to write shared data to a cloud storage location in the target cloud provider.
• B. Ensure that all views are persisted, as views cannot be shared across cloud platforms.
• C. Setup data replication to the region and cloud platform where the consumer resides.
• D. Company A and Company B must agree to use a single cloud platform: Data sharing is only possible if the companies share the same cloud provider.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because data replication is necessary to ensure that the data is accessible in the region and cloud platform where Company B operates. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not address the requirement for cross-cloud sharing, and option D is false since Snowflake allows for data sharing across different cloud platforms.
