Discuss Snowflake ARA-C01 Exam Topic 5 Question 65

A global company needs to securely share its sales and Inventory data with a vendor using a Snowflake account.

The company has its Snowflake account In the AWS eu-west 2 Europe (London) region. The vendor's Snowflake account Is on the Azure platform in the West Europe region. How should the company's Architect configure the data share?

A1. Create a share.
2. Add objects to the share.
3. Add a consumer account to the share for the vendor to access.

B1. Create a share.
2. Create a reader account for the vendor to use.
3. Add the reader account to the share.

C1. Create a new role called db_share.
2. Grant the db_share role privileges to read data from the company database and schema.
3. Create a user for the vendor.
4. Grant the ds_share role to the vendor's users.

D1. Promote an existing database in the company's local account to primary.
2. Replicate the database to Snowflake on Azure in the West-Europe region.
3. Create a share and add objects to the share.
4. Add a consumer account to the share for the vendor to access.

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 agree with Sheron. A straightforward approach is best.

D is too much work. Replicating databases adds unnecessary steps.

C looks complicated. Why create a new role? A share should be enough.

I feel like B is better. A reader account seems more secure for the vendor.

Option D seems complicated with the replication step, but I guess it might be necessary for cross-cloud sharing. I’m not sure if it’s the best choice though.

I'm a bit confused about the roles mentioned in option C. I thought roles were more for internal users, not for sharing with external vendors.

Nidia 3 months ago

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I feel like creating a reader account for the vendor might be the right approach, so option B could be it.

Donette 3 months ago

I think option A sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure if it covers the cross-cloud aspect properly.

Frederica 3 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the roles. I thought creating a role was necessary, but I can't recall if it was for sharing data or something else.

Cristen 4 months ago

I practiced a similar question where we had to add a consumer account, so I feel like option A might be the right choice here.

James 4 months ago

I think option D sounds familiar because it involves replicating the database, but I'm not entirely clear on the steps after that.

Douglass 5 months ago

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.
