• BSnowflake data and services are available in a single cloud provider and a single region, the use of
• CSnowflake can be deployed in a customer's private cloud using the customer's own compute and
• DSnowflake uses the core compute and storage services of each cloud provider for its own compute
• EAll three layers of Snowflake's architecture (storage, compute, and cloud services) are deployed
• FSnowflake data and services are deployed in at least three availability zones within a cloud

• A

• B
  2% (1)
• C
  5% (3)
• D
  90% (53)

Explanation

D is correct: Snowflake is built on top of the native compute and storage services provided by each cloud provider (e.g., S3 on AWS, Blob Storage on Azure, GCS on GCP). E is correct: All three architectural layers - storage, compute (virtual warehouses), and cloud services - are deployed on the cloud provider's infrastructure. F is correct: For high availability and fault tolerance, Snowflake replicates data and services across at least three availability zones within a region. Option A is wrong because Snowflake uses multiple availability zones, not a single one. Option B is wrong because Snowflake supports multiple cloud providers and multiple regions globally. Option C is wrong because Snowflake is a fully managed SaaS product and cannot be deployed in a customer's own private cloud infrastructure.
