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. What should the Architect do to enable the Snowflake search optimization service on this table?
Correct Answer: B
Question 117
A company's daily Snowflake workload consists of a huge number of concurrent queries triggered between 9pm and 11pm. At the individual level, these queries are smaller statements that get completed within a short time period. What configuration can the company's Architect implement to enhance the performance of this workload? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: A,B
These two configuration options can enhance the performance of the workload that consists of a huge number of concurrent queries that are smaller and faster. Enabling a multi-clustered virtual warehouse in maximized mode allows the warehouse to scale out automatically by adding more clusters as soon as the current cluster is fully loaded, regardless of the number of queries in the queue. This can improve the concurrency and throughput of the workload by minimizing or preventing queuing. The maximized mode is suitable for workloads that require high performance and low latency, and are less sensitive to credit consumption1. Setting the MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL to a higher value than its default value of 8 at the virtual warehouse level allows the warehouse to run more queries concurrently on each cluster. This can improve the utilization and efficiency of the warehouse resources, especially for smaller and faster queries that do not require a lot of processing power. The MAX_CONCURRENCY_LEVEL parameter can be set when creating or modifying a warehouse, and it can be changed at any time2.

Question 118
What integration object should be used to place restrictions on where data may be exported?
Correct Answer: B
According to the SnowPro Advanced: Architect documents and learning resources, the integration object that should be used to place restrictions on where data may be exported is the security integration. A security integration is a Snowflake object that provides an interface between Snowflake and third-party security services, such as Okta, Duo, or Google Authenticator. A security integration can be used to enforce policies on data export, such as requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) or restricting the export destination to a specific network or domain. A security integration can also be used to enable single sign-on (SSO) or federated authentication for Snowflake users1. The other options are incorrect because they are not integration objects that can be used to place restrictions on where data may be exported. Option A is incorrect because a stage integration is not a valid type of integration object in Snowflake. A stage is a Snowflake object that references a location where data files are stored, such as an internal stage, an external stage, or a named stage. A stage is not an integration object that provides an interface between Snowflake and third-party services2. Option C is incorrect because a storage integration is a Snowflake object that provides an interface between Snowflake and external cloud storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage. A storage integration can be used to securely access data files from external cloud storage without exposing the credentials, but it cannot be used to place restrictions on where data may be exported3. Option D is incorrect because an API integration is a Snowflake object that provides an interface between Snowflake and third-party services that use REST APIs, such as Salesforce, Slack, or Twilio. An API integration can be used to securely call external REST APIs from Snowflake using the CALL_EXTERNAL_API function, but it cannot be used to place restrictions on where data may be exported4.

Question 119
A user can change object parameters using which of the following roles?
Correct Answer: C
Question 120
A Snowflake Architect is designing an application and tenancy strategy for an organization where strong legal isolation rules as well as multi-tenancy are requirements. Which approach will meet these requirements if Role-Based Access Policies (RBAC) is a viable option for isolating tenants?
