The AUTO_SUSPEND parameter controls the amount of time, in seconds, of inactivity after which a warehouse is automatically suspended. If the parameter is set to NULL, the warehouse never suspends. If the parameter is set to ‘0’, the warehouse suspends immediately after executing a query. Therefore, the execution behavior of the two virtual warehouses will be different depending on the AUTO_SUSPEND value. The warehouse with NULL value will keep running until it is manually suspended or the resource monitor limits are reached. The warehouse with ‘0’ value will suspend as soon as it finishes a query and release the compute resources. References:

In Snowflake, the characteristics of result set caches include persistence of data results for 24 hours (B), each use of persisted results resets the 24-hour retention period (C), and result set caches are not shared between different warehouses (F). The result set cache is specifically designed to avoid repeated execution of the same query within this timeframe, reducing computational overhead and speeding up query responses. These caches do not contribute to storage costs, and their retention period cannot be extended beyond the default duration nor up to 31 days, as might be misconstrued.

In Snowflake, a storage integration is used to define and configure external cloud storage that Snowflake will interact with. This includes specifying security policies for access control. One of the main features of storage integrations is the ability to set restrictions on where data may be exported. This is done by binding the storage integration to specific cloud storage locations, thereby ensuring that Snowflake can only access those locations. It helps to maintain control over the data and complies with data governance and security policies by preventing unauthorized data exports to unspecified locations.
