Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Snowpipe uses key-based authentication for its REST endpoints. This involves generating and using a key pair (public and private keys) to securely authenticate API requests.

Generate Key Pair: Generate a public and private key pair.

Authenticate Requests: Use the private key to sign API requests sent to Snowpipe REST endpoints.

I vaguely remember Single Sign-On being mentioned in relation to Snowpipe, but I can't remember the details.

I practiced a similar question, and I think it was about username and password authentication, but that doesn't seem right for Snowpipe.

I feel like we covered OAuth for some other services, but I can't recall if it applies to Snowpipe.

The question mentions "REST endpoints", so I'm thinking it's probably key-based authentication. I'll select B.

Username and password? Really? In this day and age? Next you'll tell me Snowpipe uses carrier pigeons to transfer data. Key-based is the way to go, my dudes.

Hmm, I'd say it's Single Sign-On (SSO). Snowflake is all about that enterprise-level security, you know? Who needs usernames and passwords these days?
