Explanation

Snowflake's cross-cloud and cross-region replication feature (Business Critical and Enterprise editions) supports all three use cases. Business continuity and disaster recovery (A): replicating databases to a secondary region or cloud ensures failover capability if the primary region experiences an outage, with RPO and RTO goals met through continuous replication. Secure data sharing across regions and clouds (B): replication enables data providers to replicate their account and share data with consumers located in different cloud providers or geographic regions, overcoming the limitation that native shares only work within the same cloud/region. Data portability and account migrations (C): organizations can replicate their entire account - including databases, warehouses, and users - to migrate workloads to a new cloud provider or region with minimal downtime.
