The answer to this is wrong. Consumption is based on the Size of the Warehouse, Number of Clusters and the amount of time the warehouse is running. The correct answer is therefore B&D

B &C is correct answer

A.Warehouse size B.# of clusters for the Warehouse

After some research, I feel like picking C over D because you can have 8 2-node clusters or 4 4-node clusters in the same 16-node size warehouse. So more clusters should not cost you more. I also don't like C but generally more data means more time or resources used.

B&D - warehouse size and no:of clusters and the amount of the time warehouse ran to process irrespective of the amount of the data processed

B&C are correct, warehouse size determines processing power and data processed determines consumption

B &C is correct answer

Correct answer is B & D. Analysis [A. number of users] and [C. amount of data processed] are non- factors / have absolutely nothing to do with the calcualtion of credit consumption. Which leaves B and D. Credit consumption is based upon [B. warehouse size] and [D.# clusters for the warehouse]. B and D are not the same thing. VW properties: size = XS S M L XL 2XL 3XL 4XL 5XL 6XL clusters= single or multi-cluster say scale UP now say scale OUT. original post OP: re: _________________________________________________________________________________________ Credit Consumption by the Compute Layer (Virtual Warehouses) is based on: (Choose two.) A. Number of users B. Warehouse size Most Voted C. Amount of data processed D. # of clusters for the Warehouse Most Voted Correct Answer: BC 🗳️ _________________________________________________________________________________________ Disagree! correct answer is BD

(B&D) https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/warehouses-considerations How are Credits Charged for Warehouses? Credit charges are calculated based on: The warehouse size. The number of clusters (if using multi-cluster warehouses). The length of time the compute resources in each cluster runs.

B is obvious. The second alternative is either C or D. You do NOT pay for the amount of data processed: you DO pay for data stored and data transferred outside Snowflake. Thus C is not possible. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-overall D does not seem sensible either, because # of clusters equals warehouse size. However, it is not plain wrong. Thus, B and D

The answer is B & D. It cannot be C because let's say you process 1GB of data. Depending on the warehouse size, your cost will vary. D is correct because it is saying "# of clusters in the warehouse"; though there are two ways to interpret this, both ways are correct. One interpretation that most commenters have is that it is referring to # of warehouses. More warehouses obviously will affect cost, so this is a valid interpretation. The other interpretation is that "# of clusters" is just another way of saying "warehouse size" as an XS is one node (or cluster), S is 2 nodes, M is 4 nodes, and etc. Therefore the answer is only B & D.

answer

BC is the answer

snowflake calculates the amount of data scanned by the query and charges credits based on the amount of data processed. Credit consumption is also affected by size. So the ans is BC

B and C

Here the question talks about the Compute Layer, you can't choose Answer "C". Correct answer are B and D.

B & C, Snowflake credits are charged based on the number of virtual warehouses you use, how long they run, and their size. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-understanding-compute
