SnowPro Core Certification — Question 831

What compute resource is used when loading data using Snowpipe?

Answer options

• A. Snowpipe uses virtual warehouses provided by the user.
• B. Snowpipe uses an Apache Kafka server for its compute resources.
• C. Snowpipe uses compute resources provided by Snowflake.
• D. Snowpipe uses cloud platform compute resources provided by the user.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Snowpipe specifically relies on Snowflake's own compute resources to facilitate data loading. Options A and D incorrectly suggest that user-provided resources are used, while option B incorrectly states that an Apache Kafka server is involved, which is not the case for Snowpipe's operation.
