SnowPro Core Certification — Question 322

How does Snowflake allow a data provider with an Azure account in central Canada to share data with a data consumer on AWS in Australia?

Answer options

• A. The data provider in Azure Central Canada can create a direct share to AWS Asia Pacific, if they are both in the same organization.
• B. The data consumer and data provider can form a Data Exchange within the same organization to create a share from Azure Central Canada to AWS Asia Pacific.
• C. The data provider uses the GET DATA workflow in the Snowflake Data Marketplace to create a share between Azure Central Canada and AWS Asia Pacific.
• D. The data provider must replicate the database to a secondary account in AWS Asia Pacific within the same organization then create a share to the data consumer's account

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Snowflake requires the data provider to replicate the database to an AWS account in Asia Pacific before a share can be established with the data consumer. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they suggest direct sharing or methods that do not comply with the necessary replication requirement for cross-cloud sharing in Snowflake.
