SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1308

Which Snowflake virtual warehouse configuration enables horizontal scaling?

Answer options

• A. Increasing the WAREHOUSE_SIZE.
• B. Increasing the MAX_CLUSTER_COUNT.
• C. Increasing the MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL.
• D. Increasing the MIN_CLUSTER_COUNT.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as increasing the MAX_CLUSTER_COUNT allows the virtual warehouse to add more clusters, enabling horizontal scaling. Options A, C, and D do not facilitate horizontal scaling; instead, they affect the size of the warehouse or concurrency but not the number of clusters.
