Explanation

Snowflake has a three-layer architecture: Storage, Compute (Virtual Warehouses), and Cloud Services. The Cloud Services layer is the 'brain' of Snowflake and handles authentication, access control (security), query optimization, metadata management, and infrastructure management. Data storage is handled by the Storage layer. Query computation/execution is handled by the Virtual Warehouse (Compute) layer. Data visualization is not a native Snowflake architectural layer function.
