Q: 8
Which services does the Snowflake Cloud Services layer manage? (Choose two.)

C/E imo. Cloud Services is all about handling auth and metadata, compute/resources is under a different layer. Not 100% but that's how Snowflake breaks out responsibility in their docs.
D imo C and E are the correct choices here. Compute resources, data storage, and query execution all belong to their own layers (compute or storage), not the Cloud Services layer. Cloud Services handles stuff like authentication and metadata management-I've seen this on official Snowflake docs and a few practice sets. Query execution (B) is a common trap since it sounds like orchestration but isn't managed in this layer. Agree?
C/E, not B. Query execution is tempting, but it's handled by the compute layer. Seen this trap on a similar practice test.
C/E is what I'd pick as well. The Cloud Services layer in Snowflake handles things like authentication (C) and metadata (E), but actual compute and storage are separated out to their own layers. Pretty sure that's how it's split architecturally, unless "manage" is meant super broadly. Agree?
C/E for sure. Auth and metadata are handled by Cloud Services, not compute or storage. Pretty sure that's what they expect here.
I don’t think B fits, C and E seem right since Cloud Services isn’t handling compute or direct query execution.
Option C and E
Its C/E. Had something like this in a mock exam, authentication and metadata fit under Cloud Services, not compute or storage.
Yeah, pretty sure it's C and E. Cloud Services deals with authentication and metadata management specifically, the other options go under compute or storage layers.
C/E. Authentication and metadata are both part of Cloud Services, not compute or storage, which are handled by their own dedicated layers. B is tempting but query execution ties more to compute from what I've seen in docs.
Be respectful. No spam.
