SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1313

How does Snowflake describe its unique architecture?

Answer options

• A. A single-cluster shared data architecture using a central data repository and massively parallel processing (MPP)
• B. A multi-cluster shared data architecture using a central data repository and massively parallel processing (MPP)
• C. A single-cluster shared nothing architecture using a siloed data repository and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
• D. A multi-cluster shared nothing architecture using a siloed data repository and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, accurately reflects Snowflake's architecture as it utilizes a multi-cluster shared data model with a central data repository and MPP for efficient data processing. Option A is incorrect because it describes a single-cluster architecture, while options C and D incorrectly refer to a shared nothing architecture and use of SMP, which do not align with Snowflake's design principles.
