Snowflake Certification Practice Test

Is it true that compute resources used by Snowflake for data loading jobs can be provided by Snowflake managed service?

1. True

2. False

3. Only in specific regions

4. Only for large datasets

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because Snowflake provides a managed service that automatically handles compute resources required for data loading operations. This allows users to focus on data management without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. The managed service dynamically allocates the necessary compute resources, optimizing performance based on the specific workload and data size. This capability enhances efficiency and ensures that users have the resources they need without manually provisioning any compute clusters, benefiting users by reducing complexity and administrative overhead. In contrast, the other choices imply limitations or conditions that are not applicable. For example, the assertion that it is only available in specific regions contradicts Snowflake's global infrastructure, which supports managed services across various geographical locations. Similarly, the notion that managed service access is restricted to large datasets overlooks the flexibility Snowflake offers for data loading tasks of varying sizes.
