Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The correct way to securely share data with a vendor using a Snowflake account on a different cloud platform and region is to create a share, add objects to the share, and add a consumer account to the share for the vendor to access. This way, the company can control what data is shared, who can access it, and how long the share is valid. The vendor can then query the shared data without copying or moving it to their own account. The other options are either incorrect or inefficient, as they involve creating unnecessary reader accounts, users, roles, or database replication.

I remember we discussed the importance of creating a share first, but I'm not sure if we need to create a reader account or just add the vendor directly.
