SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1062

Which statements describe benefits of Snowflake's separation of compute and storage? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The separation allows independent scaling of computing resources.
• B. The separation ensures consistent data encryption across all virtual data warehouses.
• C. The separation supports automatic conversion of semi-structured data into structured data for advanced data analysis.
• D. Storage volume growth and compute usage growth can be tightly coupled.
• E. Compute can be scaled up or down without the requirement to add more storage.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers A and E highlight that the separation allows for the independent scaling of compute resources, and that compute can be adjusted without requiring additional storage. Options B and C do not directly relate to the benefits of separation, while D inaccurately suggests a close coupling between storage and compute growth, which contradicts the benefits of separation.
