QUESTION NO: 1
A healthcare company is deploying a Snowflake account that may include Personal Health Information (PHI).
The company must ensure compliance with all relevant privacy standards.
Which best practice recommendations will meet data protection and compliance requirements? (Choose three.)

A company is following the Data Mesh principles, including domain separation, and chose one Snowflake account for its data platform.
An Architect created two data domains to produce two data products. The Architect needs a third data domain that will use both of the data products to create an aggregate data product. The read access to the data products will be granted through a separate role.
Based on the Data Mesh principles, how should the third domain be configured to create the aggregate product if it has been granted the two read roles?

QUESTION NO: 4
The diagram shows the process flow for Snowpipe auto-ingest with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) with the following steps:
Step 1: Data files are loaded in a stage.
Step 2: An Amazon S3 event notification, published by SNS, informs Snowpipe - by way of Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) - that files are ready to load. Snowpipe copies the files into a queue.
Step 3: A Snowflake-provided virtual warehouse loads data from the queued files into the target table based on parameters defined in the specified pipe.

If an AWS Administrator accidentally deletes the SQS subscription to the SNS topic in Step 2, what will happen to the pipe that references the topic to receive event messages from Amazon S3?

An Architect has been asked to clone schema STAGING as it looked one week ago, Tuesday June 1st at 8:00 AM, to recover some objects.
The STAGING schema has 50 days of retention.
The Architect runs the following statement:
CREATE SCHEMA STAGING_CLONE CLONE STAGING at (timestamp => '2021-06-01 08:00:00'); The Architect receives the following error: Time travel data is not available for schema STAGING. The requested time is either beyond the allowed time travel period or before the object creation time.
The Architect then checks the schema history and sees the following:
CREATED_ON|NAME|DROPPED_ON
2021-06-02 23:00:00 | STAGING | NULL
2021-05-01 10:00:00 | STAGING | 2021-06-02 23:00:00
How can cloning the STAGING schema be achieved?

QUESTION NO: 15
An Architect needs to improve the performance of reports that pull data from multiple Snowflake tables, join, and then aggregate the data. Users access the reports using several dashboards. There are performance issues on Monday mornings between 9:00am-11:00am when many users check the sales reports.
The size of the group has increased from 4 to 8 users. Waiting times to refresh the dashboards has increased significantly. Currently this workload is being served by a virtual warehouse with the following parameters:
AUTO-RESUME = TRUE AUTO_SUSPEND = 60 SIZE = Medium
What is the MOST cost-effective way to increase the availability of the reports?
