The Snowflake Cloud Data Platform is described as having which of the following architectures?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Snowflake's architecture is described as a multi-cluster, shared data architecture.This design combines the simplicity of a shared-disk architecture with the performance and scale-out benefits of a shared-nothing architecture, using a central repository accessible from all compute nodes2.

Shared-disk? What is this, the 90s? Snowflake is the future, and the future is serverless!

B) Shared-nothing, because that's how I like my data architecture - independent and self-sufficient.

I vaguely recall that Snowflake has a unique architecture, possibly serverless, but I need to double-check what that means in this context.

I feel like the answer is C) Multi-cluster shared data, but I could be mixing it up with another cloud service.

I remember practicing a question about Snowflake's architecture, and I think it mentioned something about shared-disk, but that doesn't sound right now.

I think Snowflake uses a multi-cluster architecture, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the same as shared-nothing.

I'm not super familiar with Snowflake's architecture, but based on the options given, I think the multi-cluster shared data one sounds the most plausible. I'll make a note to review that topic before the exam.

The shared-nothing architecture makes the most sense to me for Snowflake. That's the one where each node has its own storage and memory, right? I'm feeling pretty confident about that.

Okay, let me think this through. I remember learning that Snowflake has a multi-cluster shared data architecture, so I'm going to go with option C.

C) Multi-cluster shared data is the correct answer. Snowflake's architecture allows for multiple compute clusters to access a shared data repository.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Snowflake is cloud-based, so maybe it's the serverless query engine option?
