Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 947 discussion

Auto-scale: ↑ max If new_max_clusters > running_clusters, no changes until additional clusters are needed. ↓ max If new_max_clusters < running_clusters, excess clusters shut down when they finish executing statements and the scaling policy conditions are met. ↑ min If new_min_clusters > running_clusters, additional clusters immediately started to meet the minimum. ↓ min If new_min_clusters < running_clusters, excess clusters shut down when they finish executing statements and the scaling policy conditions are met.

Based on the Snowflake documentation, additional clusters are started immediately if the MAX_CLUSTER_COUNT is increased and the new maximum number of clusters is greater than the number of running clusters. This ensures that the warehouse can handle the increased workload by scaling out to additional clusters as needed.
