Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 1093 discussion

at the Snowflake billing layer your storage charge is simply a flat $/TB‑month rate, and that published rate only varies by: Account type (On‑Demand vs Capacity pre‑purchase) Region (US, EU, APAC, etc.) All of the “cloud platform” differences are already baked into the single per‑TB list prices Snowflake publishes; you as a customer simply pick On‑Demand or Capacity and a region, and you pay that flat rate. The other choices (file format, data type, underlying provider) don’t change your Snowflake‑billed per‑TB price.

The monthly costs for storing data in Snowflake is based on a flat rate per terabyte (TB). The amount charged depends on your type of account (Capacity or On Demand) and region (US or EU).

I think the question is referring to this page https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-data-storage so the answer is AC

CE is correct C. The cloud region used by the account: Storage costs can vary depending on the geographic region where your Snowflake account is hosted. Different regions might have different pricing due to factors such as local infrastructure costs and demand. E. The cloud platform being used: Snowflake runs on multiple cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Each of these cloud providers has its own pricing model for storage, which can affect the overall storage costs in Snowflake.

"The amount charged depends on your type of account (Capacity or On Demand) and region (US or EU)"

It's A & C

A. The account type typically influences compute resource availability and performance levels rather than directly affecting storage costs. B. The storage file format does not impact the cost in Snowflake as it abstracts file formats in its storage layer, optimizing them internally for performance and compression regardless of the input format. D. The type of data being stored does not directly impact costs since Snowflake's storage costs are gen

A,C, E The monthly costs for storing data in Snowflake are based on a flat rate per terabyte (TB) of consumption (after being compressed). The amount charged is determined by your account type (capacity or on demand), Cloud Platform, and the region, whether in the United States, Asia, or Europe.

ac - correct region and account type (Standard, Enterprise, ...)
