At ValidExamDumps, we consistently monitor updates to the Snowflake ARA-C01 exam questions by Snowflake. Whenever our team identifies changes in the exam questions,exam objectives, exam focus areas or in exam requirements, We immediately update our exam questions for both PDF and online practice exams. This commitment ensures our customers always have access to the most current and accurate questions. By preparing with these actual questions, our customers can successfully pass the Snowflake SnowPro Advanced: Architect Certification Exam exam on their first attempt without needing additional materials or study guides.
Other certification materials providers often include outdated or removed questions by Snowflake in their Snowflake ARA-C01 exam. These outdated questions lead to customers failing their Snowflake SnowPro Advanced: Architect Certification Exam exam. In contrast, we ensure our questions bank includes only precise and up-to-date questions, guaranteeing their presence in your actual exam. Our main priority is your success in the Snowflake ARA-C01 exam, not profiting from selling obsolete exam questions in PDF or Online Practice Test.
An Architect has chosen to separate their Snowflake Production and QA environments using two separate Snowflake accounts.
The QA account is intended to run and test changes on data and database objects before pushing those changes to the Production account. It is a requirement that all database objects and data in the QA account need to be an exact copy of the database objects, including privileges and data in the Production account on at least a nightly basis.
Which is the LEAST complex approach to use to populate the QA account with the Production account's data and database objects on a nightly basis?
This approach is the least complex because it uses Snowflake's built-in replication feature to copy the data and database objects from the Production account to the QA account. Replication is a fast and efficient way to synchronize data across accounts, regions, and cloud platforms. It also preserves the privileges and metadata of the replicated objects. By creating clones of the replica databases, the QA account can run tests on the cloned data without affecting the original data. Clones are also zero-copy, meaning they do not consume any additional storage space unless the data is modified. This approach does not require any external stages, tasks, Snowpipe, or external functions, which can add complexity and overhead to the data transfer process.
Introduction to Replication and Failover
Which feature provides the capability to define an alternate cluster key for a table with an existing cluster key?
A company is using Snowflake in Azure in the Netherlands. The company analyst team also has data in JSON format that is stored in an Amazon S3 bucket in the AWS Singapore region that the team wants to analyze.
The Architect has been given the following requirements:
1. Provide access to frequently changing data
2. Keep egress costs to a minimum
3. Maintain low latency
How can these requirements be met with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
An Architect is designing a solution that will be used to process changed records in an orders table. Newly-inserted orders must be loaded into the f_orders fact table, which will aggregate all the orders by multiple dimensions (time, region, channel, etc.). Existing orders can be updated by the sales department within 30 days after the order creation. In case of an order update, the solution must perform two actions:
1. Update the order in the f_0RDERS fact table.
2. Load the changed order data into the special table ORDER _REPAIRS.
This table is used by the Accounting department once a month. If the order has been changed, the Accounting team needs to know the latest details and perform the necessary actions based on the data in the order_repairs table.
What data processing logic design will be the MOST performant?
The most performant design for processing changed records, considering the need to both update records in the f_orders fact table and load changes into the order_repairs table, is to use one stream and two tasks. The stream will monitor changes in the orders table, capturing both inserts and updates. The first task would apply these changes to the f_orders fact table, ensuring all dimensions are accurately represented. The second task would use the same stream to insert relevant changes into the order_repairs table, which is critical for the Accounting department's monthly review. This method ensures efficient processing by minimizing the overhead of managing multiple streams and synchronizing between them, while also allowing specific tasks to optimize for their target operations.
