SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1229

What statement describes Snowflake data architecture?

Answer options

• A. NoSQL warehouse as a service
• B. Single-node, isolated data
• C. Multi-cluster, shared data
• D. Centralized data storage and processing

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Snowflake's architecture is designed to support a multi-cluster environment where data is shared across various compute resources. Option A is incorrect because Snowflake is not a NoSQL database; it is a cloud-based data warehousing solution. Option B is also wrong since Snowflake does not operate on a single-node basis, and Option D is misleading because it emphasizes a centralized system while Snowflake operates on a more distributed model.
