Exam SOL-C01 Topic 1 Question 301 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's SOL-C01 exam
Question #: 301
Topic #: 1
A data warehouse architect is designing a Snowflake environment for a large retail company. The company has diverse data workloads, including batch data ingestion, real-time analytics, and machine learning model training. The architect needs to choose the appropriate Snowflake edition and configure the virtual warehouse sizes to optimize cost and performance. Considering the diverse workloads, which combination of Snowflake edition and virtual warehouse strategy would be most appropriate?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Option B is the most appropriate. Enterprise Edition provides the features necessary for diverse workloads (such as materialized views and advanced security), and using separate virtual warehouses allows for workload isolation and optimized resource allocation. Resource monitors can control costs. Standard Edition (A and E) lacks the features required for advanced workloads.
Business Critical Edition (C) is overkill unless specific security or compliance requirements mandate it. VPS (D) is suitable for highly regulated industries but may be more expensive than necessary for a retail company. Using external services such as SageMaker (E) defeats the purpose of leveraging Snowflake for all workloads.
