Reveal correct answers
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
✅ Segmentation for security and governance, Cross-account resource utilization, Compliance and regulatory constraints
Explanation:
When defining a Snowflake account strategy, the following considerations are crucial:
Segmentation for security and governance → Ensures proper access control, data isolation, and compliance with organizational policies.
Cross-account resource utilization → Allows efficient data sharing and workload distribution across multiple Snowflake accounts.
Compliance and regulatory constraints → Helps meet industry-specific legal requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2.
❌ Why the other option is incorrect?
Automatic query optimization → Incorrect, because query optimization is handled at the query execution level rather than being a fundamental consideration for account strategy.
