Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 178 discussion

A - correct B - serverless has no minimum (virtual warehouse has 60 sec) C - parameter doesn't exists D - not 10% of MONTHLY, but DAILY usage - Usage for cloud services is charged only if the daily consumption of cloud services exceeds 10% of the daily usage of virtual warehouses.

Billed per second, per core

Charges for serverless features are calculated based on total usage of snowflake-managed compute resources measured in compute-hours. Compute-Hours are calculated on a per second basis, rounded up to the nearest whole second. The number of credits consumed per compute hour varies depending on the serverless feature.

A. Per second multiplied by an automatic sizing for the job

D for fure

Charges for serverless features are calculated based on total usage of snowflake-managed compute resources measured in compute-hours. Compute-Hours are calculated on a per second basis, rounded up to the nearest whole second. The number of credits consumed per compute hour varies depending on the serverless feature.

Very confusing question but i think A is the answer

Serverless features are billed per second. And there is no parameter by name SERVERLESS_FEATURES_SIZE. So A should be correct.

The most confusing question

Charges for serverless features are calculated based on total usage of snowflake-managed compute resources measured in compute-hours. Compute-Hours are calculated on a per second basis, rounded up to the nearest whole second. The number of credits consumed per compute hour varies depending on the serverless feature. To learn how many credits are consumed by a serverless feature, refer to the “Serverless Feature Credit Table” in the Snowflake service consumption table. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-compute#serverless-credit-usage

Even though D is true, it doesn't answer the question, so I'd say A but it's not really clear.

its the answer

Serverless compute does not factor into the 10% adjustment for cloud services.

I think A It says that it is billed based on compute-hours which are charged per second, with Snowflake determining the size which depends on the compute needs.

I feel it's more like C https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-compute.html#serverless-credit-usage

I wish they weren't billed...

https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-compute.html#:~:text=for%20Cloud%20Services-,Usage,-Usage%20for%20cloud should be D but if the cost daily exceeds 10%
