SnowPro Core Certification — Question 231

Which statements are true concerning Snowflake’s underlying cloud infrastructure? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Snowflake data and services are deployed in a single availability zone within a cloud provider’s region.
• B. Snowflake data and services are available in a single cloud provider and a single region; the use of multiple cloud providers is not supported.
• C. Snowflake can be deployed in a customer’s private cloud using the customer’s own compute and storage resources for Snowflake compute and storage.
• D. Snowflake uses the core compute and storage services of each cloud provider for its own compute and storage.
• E. All three layers of Snowflake’s architecture (storage, compute, and cloud services) are deployed and managed entirely on a selected cloud platform.
• F. Snowflake data and services are deployed in at least three availability zones within a cloud provider’s region.

Correct answer: D, E, F

Explanation

The correct answers are D, E, and F because Snowflake leverages the core services of cloud providers for its operations, fully manages its architecture on the selected cloud platform, and ensures data availability across multiple zones for resilience. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they misrepresent Snowflake's deployment flexibility and reliance on cloud infrastructure.
