Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
✅ AWS PrivateLink
Explanation:
AWS PrivateLink is the best solution for securely connecting Snowflake to AWS services without exposing data over the public internet. It enables private VPC endpoints, ensuring that traffic remains within AWS’s private network.
Provides private connectivity → Direct connection between AWS VPCs and Snowflake without traversing the public internet.
Enhances security → Prevents unauthorized external access by keeping data flow within AWS infrastructure.
Supports Snowflake Business Critical Edition → Required for enabling PrivateLink integration.
❌ Why the other options are incorrect?
Azure Private Link
→ Incorrect, because Azure Private Link is designed for Microsoft Azure services, not AWS.
Google Cloud Private Service Connect
→ Incorrect, because Google Cloud Private Service Connect is used for Google Cloud networking, not AWS.
Network Policies
→ Incorrect, because Network Policies control IP-based access restrictions, but do not provide private network connectivity between Snowflake and AWS.
For more details, check the official Snowflake documentation on AWS PrivateLink.
