Snowflake ARA-R01 Exam - Topic 1 Question 32 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-R01 exam

Question #: 32
Topic #: 1

A Snowflake Architect is designing a multi-tenant application strategy for an organization in the Snowflake Data Cloud and is considering using an Account Per Tenant strategy.

Which requirements will be addressed with this approach? (Choose two.)

AThere needs to be fewer objects per tenant.

BSecurity and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies must be simple to configure.

CCompute costs must be optimized.

DTenant data shape may be unique per tenant.

EStorage costs must be optimized.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D

The Account Per Tenant strategy involves creating separate Snowflake accounts for each tenant within the multi-tenant application. This approach offers a number of advantages.

Option B: With separate accounts, each tenant's environment is isolated, making security and RBAC policies simpler to configure and maintain. This is because each account can have its own set of roles and privileges without the risk of cross-tenant access or the complexity of maintaining a highly granular permission model within a shared environment.

Option D: This approach also allows for each tenant to have a unique data shape, meaning that the database schema can be tailored to the specific needs of each tenant without affecting others. This can be essential when tenants have different data models, usage patterns, or application customizations.

Storage costs might not be the main focus here, though.

I feel like security and RBAC were emphasized in our study sessions, so B might be a solid choice for this question.

I practiced a similar question where we talked about optimizing costs, but I can't recall if that was specifically about compute or storage.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think having fewer objects per tenant could be a reason for this approach, which might point to A.

I remember discussing how an Account Per Tenant strategy can help with unique data shapes for each tenant, so maybe D is one of the answers?

This is a tricky one. I think the Account Per Tenant strategy would address the security and RBAC requirements, but I'm not sure if it would optimize compute and storage costs or handle unique data shapes per tenant. I'll need to think about this a bit more.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The Account Per Tenant strategy would definitely address the security and RBAC requirements, and it would also allow for unique data shapes per tenant. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it would optimize compute and storage costs.

Okay, let's think this through. The Account Per Tenant strategy should make it easier to configure RBAC policies, and it would allow for unique data shapes per tenant. But I'm not sure if it would necessarily optimize compute and storage costs.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the Account Per Tenant strategy is supposed to simplify security, but I'm not sure if it addresses the other requirements like compute and storage cost optimization.

A and E? What is this, a trick question? Everyone knows that the account-per-tenant strategy is all about flexibility and security, not about reducing object counts or storage costs. B and D for sure!

Hmm, I'm going to have to go with B and D as well. Simplifying security and accommodating data diversity are key benefits of the account-per-tenant approach.

C and E? Really? Snowflake's auto-scaling and shared storage model already take care of those, don't they? I'd go with B and D.
