SnowPro Core Certification — Question 365

What is used to limit the credit usage of a virtual warehouse within a Snowflake account?

Answer options

• A. Load monitor
• B. Resource monitor
• C. Query Profile
• D. Stream

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Load monitor does not control credit usage, Query Profile provides insights into query performance, and Stream is used for change data capture, not credit management.
