   A company has multiple Snowflake accounts in the same cloud region. They want to establish private connectivity from their on-premises data center to all accounts. They are considering using a single cloud provider's private connectivity service (e.g., AWS Direct Connect) and then using VPC peering to route traffic to the Snowflake accounts. What is a potential limitation of this approach?

   • AVPC peering does not support transitive routing, so you may need a transit gateway to route traffic to multiple accounts.
   • BVPC peering requires a separate private connection for each account.
   • CVPC peering is only available for accounts in different regions.
   • DVPC peering is not supported for Snowflake accounts.

   • BUse Snowflake's native data governance features to automatically propagate policies from the primary account to all others.
   • CRely on each business unit to define and enforce their own policies.
   • DCreate and apply the same masking policies and classification tags in each account manually.

   A company is planning a multi-account architecture with a primary account in AWS and a secondary account in Azure for disaster recovery. They want to use cross-cloud replication for their critical databases. The company is concerned about the cost of data transfer between clouds and wants to minimize it. Which approach would best minimize cross-cloud data transfer costs?

   • AUse an enterprise replication group with continuous replication and enable failover.
   • BUse a business-critical replication group with continuous replication and enable failover.
   • CUse a replication group with a scheduled refresh, such as every 6 hours, and enable failover.
   • DDo not use replication; instead, rely on exporting data to cloud storage and re-importing it in the DR account.
