Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 53 discussion

According to the documentation sited: "The costs for sharing data with Snowflake are minimal and straightforward. Data providers simply pay Snowflake for the data they store, and data consumers pay for the compute resources their queries consume."

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-sharing-intro According to docs, there is no separate cost to provider for creating the Share. Shared data does not take up any storage in a consumer account and therefore does not contribute to the consumer’s monthly data storage charges. The only charges to consumers are for the compute resources (i.e. virtual warehouses) used to query the shared data. Because no data is copied or exchanged, Secure Data Sharing setup is quick and easy for providers and access to the shared data is near-instantaneous for consumers

B False

Correct answer:B no additional cost other than storage

This question is incomplete - it depends if its READER account (on cross cloud platform/non SF platform) or if its on same SF platform (same Cloud) consumer account. For Reader Account billing is on Provider account, for Consumer Account (same SF cloud) - its on Consumer Account

B. False

FALSE. There is no additional cost based on number of shares created instead the charges are based on storage used.

"The costs for sharing data with Snowflake are minimal and straightforward. Data providers simply pay Snowflake for the data they store, and data consumers pay for the compute resources their queries consume."

No, there is no additional charge. This is because, when you share data, no actual data is copied, so there is no additional storage required and therefore no associated additional cost. Even the process of creating the share and granting privileges for databases and other supported database objects (schemas, UDFs, tables, and views) to a share does not incur any direct cost since these are metadata operations and are thus part of Cloud Services. Snowflake credits are used to pay for the usage of the cloud services that exceeds 10% of the daily usage of the compute resources. Usage for cloud services is charged only if the daily consumption of cloud services exceeds 10% of the daily usage of the compute resources. If data is shared outside the region where the Snowflake account is hosted then will be additional storage costs for replication.

There is ne additional fee for datashare itself

A is correct

There is no extra cost in a share

No additional cost for share.

As documentation there are no additional costs for the share

Sharing is free as it within Snowflake accounts

B is correct
