C. Multi-cluster, shared data Snowflake's database architecture is best described as multi-cluster, shared data. This architecture separates compute and storage, allowing multiple compute clusters to access the same data concurrently and scale independently.

It's answer C. yes you share your disk, but shared data is the best way to describe their architecture apparently. this is also a question in their Level Up: Snowflake Key Concepts & Architecture. Which ONE of the following terms BEST describes Snowflake's Architecture? Shared Disk Shared Nothing Shared Data Shared Memory Shared data was correct.

Are these answers given by Exam topics or these answers are given by snowflake? Cause in second case its worrying what happens when they ask this question in exam

It should be B. Its a shared disk architecture. For the multi cluster to access this data first the physcial disk sotring the data should be shareable. So B should be correct. Multicluster shared data comes in picture only when question is about data processing which in this case its a MPP.

Answer is B Snowflake’s architecture is a hybrid of traditional shared-disk and shared-nothing database architectures. Similar to shared-disk architectures, Snowflake uses a central data repository for persisted data that is accessible from all compute nodes in the platform. But similar to shared-nothing architectures, Snowflake processes queries using MPP (massively parallel processing) compute clusters where each node in the cluster stores a portion of the entire data set locally. This approach offers the data management simplicity of a shared-disk architecture, but with the performance and scale-out benefits of a shared-nothing architecture.

B is correct, snowflake is share disk and share nothing architecture, shared disk a common persistent storage data shared across all compute node, where as share nothing architecture, snowflake process data using MPP engine, where each virtual warehouse stores data locally.
