SnowPro Core Certification — Question 431

Why do Snowflake’s virtual warehouses have scaling policies?

Answer options

• A. To help save extra storage costs
• B. To help increase the performance of serverless computing features
• C. To help control the credits consumed by a multi-cluster warehouse running in auto-scale mode
• D. To help control the credits consumed by a multi-cluster warehouse running in maximized mode

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because scaling policies are designed to manage the credits consumed by multi-cluster warehouses in auto-scale mode, ensuring efficient resource usage. Options A and B do not relate to credit management, while option D refers to maximized mode, which is not the focus of scaling policies.
