Question 29
- A External Access Integration
- B Network Policies
- C VPN connection using a Network Rule
- D IP Whitelisting
- E AWS PrivateLink / Azure Private Link / Google Cloud Private Service Connect
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: E
Explanation
✅ AWS PrivateLink / Azure Private Link / Google Cloud Private Service Connect
Explanation:
These private connectivity solutions ensure that all communication between the financial institution’s on-premises data centers and Snowflake occurs over a dedicated, private network, bypassing the public internet. This approach enhances security, compliance, and performance by keeping data traffic within the cloud provider’s secure network.
❌ Why the other options are incorrect?
Network Policies → Incorrect, because network policies control which IP addresses can access Snowflake but do not establish a private network connection.
IP Whitelisting → Incorrect, as whitelisting allows specific IPs but does not provide private network isolation.
External Access Integration → Incorrect, because external access integration is used for connecting Snowflake to external services, not for private network isolation.
VPN connection using a Network Rule → Incorrect, as VPNs provide encrypted tunnels but do not ensure full private network isolation like PrivateLink or Private Service Connect.
