SnowPro Core Certification — Question 257

In an auto-scaling multi-cluster virtual warehouse with the setting SCALING_POLICY = ECONOMY enabled, when is another cluster started?

Answer options

• A. When the system has enough load for 2 minutes
• B. When the system has enough load for 6 minutes
• C. When the system has enough load for 8 minutes
• D. When the system has enough load for 10 minutes

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the ECONOMY scaling policy triggers the start of a new cluster after the system experiences sufficient load for 6 minutes. The other options indicate different time frames which do not align with the ECONOMY policy's requirements.
