SnowPro Advanced: Architect — Question 74
A company is designing high availability and disaster recovery plans and needs to maximize redundancy and minimize recovery time objectives for their critical application processes.
Cost is not a concern as long as the solution is the best available.
The plan so far consists of the following steps:
1. Deployment of Snowflake accounts on two different cloud providers.
2. Selection of cloud provider regions that are geographically far apart.
3. The Snowflake deployment will replicate the databases and account data between both cloud provider accounts.
4. Implementation of Snowflake client redirect.
What is the MOST cost-effective way to provide the HIGHEST uptime and LEAST application disruption if there is a service event?
Answer options
- A. Connect the applications using the-URL. Use the Business Critical Snowflake edition.
- B. Connect the applications using the-URL. Use the Virtual Private Snowflake (VPS) edition.
- C. Connect the applications using the-URL. Use the Enterprise Snowflake edition.
- D. Connect the applications using the-URL. Use the Business Critical Snowflake edition.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A, as the Business Critical Snowflake edition provides advanced features that enhance uptime and minimize disruptions during service events. The other options may not offer the same level of redundancy and reliability, making them less suitable for critical applications where uptime is essential.
