1. An Architect on a new project has been asked to design an architecture that meets

Snowflake security, compliance, and governance requirements as follows:

1) Use Tri-Secret Secure in Snowflake

2) Share some information stored in a view with another Snowflake customer

3) Hide portions of sensitive information from some columns

4) Use zero-copy cloning to refresh the non-production environment from the production environment

To meet these requirements, which design elements must be implemented? (Choose three.)

Define row access policies.

Use the Business Critical edition of Snowflake.

Create a secure view.

Use the Enterprise edition of Snowflake.

Use Dynamic Data Masking.

Create a materialized view.

2. A user has the appropriate privilege to see unmasked data in a column.

If the user loads this column data into another column that does not have a masking policy, what will occur?

Unmasked data will be loaded in the new column.

Masked data will be loaded into the new column.

Unmasked data will be loaded into the new column but only users with the appropriate privileges will be able to see the unmasked data.

Unmasked data will be loaded into the new column and no users will be able to see the unmasked data.

3. What are purposes for creating a storage integration? (Choose three.)

Control access to Snowflake data using a master encryption key that is maintained in the cloud provider’s key management service.

Store a generated identity and access management (IAM) entity for an external cloud provider regardless of the cloud provider that hosts the Snowflake account.

Support multiple external stages using one single Snowflake object.

Avoid supplying credentials when creating a stage or when loading or unloading data.

Create private VPC endpoints that allow direct, secure connectivity between VPCs without traversing the public internet.

Manage credentials from multiple cloud providers in one single Snowflake object.

4. What are some of the characteristics of result set caches? (Choose three.)

Time Travel queries can be executed against the result set cache.

Snowflake persists the data results for 24 hours.

Each time persisted results for a query are used, a 24-hour retention period is reset.

The data stored in the result cache will contribute to storage costs.

The retention period can be reset for a maximum of 31 days.

The result set cache is not shared between warehouses.

5. Which Snowflake data modeling approach is designed for BI queries?

3 NF

Star schema

Data Vault

Snowflake schema

Which actions can the company take with the inbound share? (Choose two.)

Clone a table from a share.

Grant modify permissions on the share.

Create a table from the shared database.

Create additional views inside the shared database.

Create a table stream on the shared table.

7. What is a valid object hierarchy when building a Snowflake environment?

The Architect runs the following statement:

CREATE SCHEMA STAGING_CLONE CLONE STAGING at (timestamp => '2021-06-01 08:00:00');

The Architect receives the following error: Time travel data is not available for schema STAGING. The requested time is either beyond the allowed time travel period or before the object creation time.

The Architect then checks the schema history and sees the following:

CREATED_ON|NAME|DROPPED_ON

2021-06-02 23:00:00 | STAGING | NULL

2021-05-01 10:00:00 | STAGING | 2021-06-02 23:00:00

Undrop the STAGING schema and then rerun the CLONE statement.

Modify the statement: CREATE SCHEMA STAGING_CLONE CLONE STAGING at (timestamp => '2021-05-01 10:00:00');

Rename the STAGING schema and perform an UNDROP to retrieve the previous STAGING schema version, then run the CLONE statement.

Cloning cannot be accomplished because the STAGING schema version was not active during the proposed Time Travel time period.

10. An Architect has a VPN_ACCESS_LOGS table in the SECURITY_LOGS schema containing timestamps of the connection and disconnection, username of the user, and summary statistics.

The cardinality distribution of the columns is shown below:

Column C4 and C5 are mostly used by SELECT queries in the GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses. Whereas columns C1, C2 and C3 are heavily used in filter and join conditions of SELECT queries.

The Architect must design a clustering key for this table to improve the query performance.

Based on Snowflake recommendations, how should the clustering key columns be ordered while defining the multi-column clustering key?

C5, C4, C2

C3, C4, C5

C1, C3, C2

C2, C1, C3

To validate Private Link connectivity, an Architect performed the following steps:

* Confirmed Private Link URLs are working by logging in with a username/password account

* Verified DNS resolution by running nslookups against Private Link URLs

* Validated connectivity using SnowCD

* Disabled public access using a network policy set to use the company’s IP address range

However, the following error message is received when using SSO to log into the company account:

IP XX.XXX.XX.XX is not allowed to access snowflake. Contact your local security administrator.

What steps should the Architect take to resolve this error and ensure that the account is accessed using only Private Link? (Choose two.)

How can the ORDER_ADMIN role be enabled to perform this data cleanup, without needing the DELETE privilege held by the ORDER_MANAGER role?

Create a stored procedure that runs with caller’s rights, including the appropriate "> 5 years" business logic, and grant USAGE on this procedure to ORDER_ADMI

The ORDER_MANAGER role owns the procedure.

Create a stored procedure that can be run using both caller’s and owner’s rights (allowing the user to specify which rights are used during execution), and grant USAGE on this procedure to ORDER_ADMI

The ORDER_MANAGER role owns the procedure.

Create a stored procedure that runs with owner’s rights, including the appropriate "> 5 years" business logic, and grant USAGE on this procedure to ORDER_ADMI

The ORDER_MANAGER role owns the procedure.

This scenario would actually not be possible in Snowflake C any user performing a DELETE on a table requires the DELETE privilege to be granted to the role they are using.

47. Company A would like to share data in Snowflake with Company B. Company B is not on the same cloud platform as Company A.

What is required to allow data sharing between these two companies?

Create a pipeline to write shared data to a cloud storage location in the target cloud provider.

Ensure that all views are persisted, as views cannot be shared across cloud platforms.

Setup data replication to the region and cloud platform where the consumer resides.

Company A and Company B must agree to use a single cloud platform: Data sharing is only possible if the companies share the same cloud provider.

48. How does a standard virtual warehouse policy work in Snowflake?

It conserves credits by keeping running clusters fully loaded rather than starting additional clusters.

It starts only if the system estimates that there is a query load that will keep the cluster busy for at least 6 minutes.

It starts only f the system estimates that there is a query load that will keep the cluster busy for at least 2 minutes.

It prevents or minimizes queuing by starting additional clusters instead of conserving credits.

All rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have varying timestamps based on when the rows were inserted.

Any rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have varying timestamps based on when the rows were read from the source.

Any rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have varying timestamps based on when the rows were created in the source.

All rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have the same timestamp value.

50. A DevOps team has a requirement for recovery of staging tables used in a complex set of data pipelines. The staging tables are all located in the same staging schema. One of the requirements is to have online recovery of data on a rolling 7-day basis.

51. An Architect has chosen to separate their Snowflake Production and QA environments using two separate Snowflake accounts.

The QA account is intended to run and test changes on data and database objects before pushing those changes to the Production account. It is a requirement that all database objects and data in the QA account need to be an exact copy of the database objects, including privileges and data in the Production account on at least a nightly basis.

Which is the LEAST complex approach to use to populate the QA account with the Production account’s data and database objects on a nightly basis?

1) Create a share in the Production account for each database 2) Share access to the QA account as a Consumer 3) The QA account creates a database directly from each share 4) Create clones of those databases on a nightly basis 5) Run tests directly on those cloned databases

1) Create a stage in the Production account 2) Create a stage in the QA account that points to the same external object-storage location 3) Create a task that runs nightly to unload each table in the Production account into the stage 4) Use Snowpipe to populate the QA account

1) Enable replication for each database in the Production account 2) Create replica databases in the QA account 3) Create clones of the replica databases on a nightly basis 4) Run tests directly on those cloned databases

1) In the Production account, create an external function that connects into the QA account and returns all the data for one specific table 2) Run the external function as part of a stored procedure that loops through each table in the Production account and populates each table in the QA account
