SnowPro Core Certification — Question 377

A user has a standard multi-cluster warehouse auto-scaling policy in place.

Which condition will trigger a cluster to shut-down?

Answer options

• A. When after 2-3 consecutive checks the system determines that the load on the most-loaded cluster could be redistributed.
• B. When after 5-6 consecutive checks the system determines that the load on the most-loaded cluster could be redistributed.
• C. When after 5-6 consecutive checks the system determines that the load on the least-loaded cluster could be redistributed.
• D. When after 2-3 consecutive checks the system determines that the load on the least-loaded cluster could be redistributed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the policy specifies that a cluster will shut down when the least-loaded cluster can have its load redistributed, which is confirmed after 2-3 checks. Options A and B incorrectly focus on the most-loaded cluster, which does not trigger a shutdown, while option C refers to 5-6 checks, which is not within the specified range.
