QuestionQ1

Implement Data Pipelines

A company wants to obtain data from a Snowflake Marketplace provider for data-enrichment purposes. A Data Engineer must build a data pipeline that blends existing data in the company’s account with the provider’s data, including some transformations. The provider’s data is unavailable in the region where the company account is located.

How can the Data Engineer make the data available to the company for processing?

Explanation

A full Snowflake account in the provider’s region can consume the Marketplace data; a reader account cannot serve this purpose because it can consume data only from the account that created it. Replicating the acquired data to the company account makes it available alongside the company’s existing data, where the pipeline can transform and blend it. Snowflake’s cross-region sharing guidance describes replication as the mechanism for making data available across regions and cloud platforms.
